摘要

Greg Wight, president of Algoma Central Corp, speaking about the current market, concedes "it's a struggle". If it wasn't for moving a large Prairie grain crop and replenishing road salt depleted during the long winter, the sector would be in deeper trouble. "Shipments of iron ore and coal are way off. Aggregates will be way down until infrastructure projects begin," predicted Wight.rnThe US Lake Carriers Association reported that, as of mid-May, about 30 of the 74 American vessels were tied up for a lack of cargo. Association vice-president Glen Nekvasil estimated that ships in service are carrying only half their historical volume of iron ore, coal and other commodities.rnTraffic figures up to the end of April for the St Lawrence Seaway, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, were abysmal compared to the same period last year. Vessel transits totalled 276, about half of 2008 levels. Cargo was 2.6M tonnes, down around 40%. Iron ore was less than a third of last year's level, while coal and other bulk commodities were down by half. Even grain was somewhat below 2008 levels.
