Superior port defies seaway clock with late season surge
Winter ice and winds sped the final Great Lakes shipping rush as 21 ships, 15 salties, loaded at Superior and Duluth before the extended Dec 15 closing. Officials won a two day extension to exit by Monday, avoiding fines up to 80 000 a day, amid debates on a longer season and broader grain exports recovery after embargo and policy blows. Grain shipments rose 25 percent this year, aided by Canada taking much of the grain trade, with Superior shipments totaling about 176.5 million bushels by late November. Port Director James McCarville remains optimistic, despite industry strains from past policy.
