The 2011 shipping season in the Port of Thunder Bay is winding down. Port Authority CEO Tim Heney says it’ll extend a little later than most years. He says locks at the Welland Canal will close on December 30th and the Soo Locks in Sault St. Marie will close around January 7th. Six ships are expected to arrive in port which will spend the winter here being repaired.
