St. Lawrence Seaway will open early this year due to the warm weather.
A ceremony commencing the 58th navigation season will be held March 21 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
Organizers say the shipping season is getting an early start this year and is ice free to seasonably warm temperatures that followed a mild winter. Last year the opening was delayed after the North Country experienced a long and brutally cold winter.
Betty Sutton, administrator of the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, and Terence Bowles, CEO of The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation will kick off the official opening ceremony in St. Catharines, Ontario on Monday.
Allister Paterson, president of Canada Steamship Lines, whose Trillium-class vessel Thunder Bay will be the first ship of the season, will be the keynote speaker. Other speakers include Francois Allard, director of marine distribution for K + S Windsor Salt Ltd., whose salt is the first cargo.
