Ottawa—The St. Lawrence Seaway saw cargo tonnage drop by just over 5 per cent during 2022 to 36.2 million tonnes compared to the previous year but there were several bright spots as the number of ships passing through the system rose by 92 to 4,010 with the return of cruise ships.
The Seaway said global issues affecting fertilizer supplies drove significant growth in potash shipments, which were up more than 100 per cent compared to 2021. Petroleum products movements increased nearly 28 per cent over 2021 due to increased air and vehicle travel. An improved 2022 grain harvest is expected to produce a strong start for 2023.
“It’s this agility that enables the Seaway to respond to changes and act on emerging opportunities, such as shifting trade patterns resulting from global events. In addition, we are working closely with partners to develop lands along the Seaway, which will benefit both the economy and local communities.”
The last commercial transit of the 2022 navigation season through the Montreal-Lake Ontario section of the Seaway occurred on Jan. 1. The Welland Canal closed on Jan. 9 marking the conclusion of the fourth year of the Welland Canal season extension pilot program.
