The 2020 shipping season starts this week in the Port of Thunder Bay following the arrival of the Canadian Icebreaker Samuel Risley yesterday.
Three vessels docked for the winter at Keefer Terminal will shift their attention to grain elevators to load grain. Several more Canadian vessels are set to arrive in port later this week after the Soo Locks open as scheduled on March 25.
Port officials say in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, marine shipping is vital to the integrity of the Canadian and global supply chain.
