TECHNOLOGY: New technology applications by the Great Lakes shipping industry are increasing efficiency, decreasing environmental impact and improving crew and cargo safety. Advancements in both and infrastructure and cutting edge shipboard improvements are reviewed in this detailed report.

EVOLVING TRADE PATTERNS: Trade pattern change is accelerating. Currently the CN is improving their E-W line out of Thunder Bay, the Panama Canal expansion is underway, and ports on the East and West Coast experience periodic congestion. These and other external forces will affect future Great Lakes trade patterns, which we will examine in detail.

IRON ORE: Iron ore expert Professor Peter Kakela provides observations on the chaotic state of the industry and describes the role “junior mines” will play in the future.

GREAT LAKES RESTORATION INITIATIVE: $455 million is budgeted for Great Lakes Restoration and the commercial shipping industry will benefit. The U.S. EPA is reviewing initial project proposals. We will discuss the process and the proposals.
