âThe Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor continues to see increased tonnage,â said Vanta E. Coda II, CEO of the Indianapolis-based Ports of Indiana port authority. âCompared to June 2020, weâve seen a 52% tonnage increase this June. Looking at all maritime tonnage, Burns Harbor has more than a 36% increase year-over-year to date. Steel is up more than 100% and limestone has climbed nearly 90% too. We look forward to additional growth in the second half of the year.
Through the end of June, international cargos shipped through the St. Lawrence Seaway to Great Lakes ports are up by 8.37% to 12.9 million tons. Great Lakes shipping officials attribute the boost to increased domestic construction, manufacturing activity and global export demand.
