SUPERIOR, WI (KDAL) – Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Superior will use funding from the Wisconsin Sea Grant program to study how reduced ice coverage will impact shipping on the Great Lakes.
Richard Stewart, director of the Transportation and Logistics Research Center at UWS, says expectations are that by 2050 there will be very little ice on the Great Lakes to impede vessel travel.
That would result in a longer shipping season and a need for fewer ships.
A year-round season could attract new commodities to the Twin Ports and Duluth Seaway Port Authority director, Deb DeLuca says it could open the entire waterway to greater usage which would be a plus for all sorts of reasons.
Year-Round Shipping Season For Twin Ports Researched
Northlanders know their seasons and if the temperature and forecast didn t give it away, the other seasons - tourists and shipping - might. Truthfully, while the summer months see an influx of out-of-town visitors in the area, tourism has truly become a year-round industry. So what about shipping? What if that also went ahead for twelve months out of the year? Changing climate trends and modern technology could be the key.
A year-long research project has been initiated by the Transportation and Logistics Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. Funding for the project is coming from a University of Wisconsin Sea Grant. What these developers hope to learn is whether or not the Twin Ports - the Port of Duluth and the Port of Superior - could be like similar ports in Europe that maintain open passage ways for vessels and an open-road without obstacles for the shipping industry.
