WASHINGTON â The recently renamed Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation announced that a new corporate seal has been approved to replace the former Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation seal.
The SLSDC was renamed the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation by Congress as part of the FY 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act. This name change was led by U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur, D-OH, and Senator Sherrod Brown, D-OH to acknowledge the Corporationâs long-standing contributions and importance to the Great Lakes region and its economy.
âThe new GLS corporate seal pays homage to the former SLSDC seal while depicting the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. Great Lakes Seaway System stakeholders will quickly recognize and hopefully appreciate the new design as it becomes prevalent on the Seawayâs websites, publications, signage, and even the new GLS tugboats,â GLS Deputy Administrator Craig H. Middlebrook said.

MASSENA – A new $24 million tugboat for the St. Lawrence Seaway wasn’t used this past winter, but U.S. Department of Transportation officials say they anticipate using it for the 2021-22 winter.
The Seaway Guardian arrived in Massena last summer, the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation had previously announced in a news release.
However, the 62-year-old Robinson Bay was used to break ice this year that had accumulated between Eisenhower and Snell locks. US DOT officials said that was because of “limited ice conditions,” and added that the tug is not undergoing any major reconstruction.
