CHAMBER OF MARINE COMMERCE: ONE BI-NATIONAL VOICE MAKES US STRONGER

摘要

The amount of cargo shipped by water globally is predicted to double in the next 20 years. And as the world's longest deep-draft inland navigation system, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway has the potential to be a major beneficiary. This marine highway already supports 227,000 jobs and contributes $35 billion in business revenues in Canada and the U.S. With the right regulatory and investment climate, it could do more. The Chamber of Marine Commerce provides one strong voice for our membership that not only includes ports, terminals, shipowners and marine service providers but also their U.S. and Canadian customers: large industrial companies that need competitive marine transportation to get goods and material to and from market.
