On Tuesday, the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation and Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) marked the opening of the Seaway’s 2019 navigation season.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Today’s opening ceremony of the binational waterway took place at St. Lambert Lock in Montreal, Canada. Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau, U.S. Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Joel Szabat, SLSDC Deputy Administrator Craig H. Middlebrook, and SLSMC President/CEO Terence Bowles all addressed the gathering.
“As the binational waterway turns 60, it is resilient and ready for the future,” Middlebrook said in a prepared statement. “New technologies, an exceptional reliability record, and significant investments in infrastructure are enhancing efficiencies and keeping the Seaway safe and competitive.”
“The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System is a vital maritime transportation system and a driver of economic development and job creation in the region,” U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao said in a prepared statement.
