Toledo Port Hopes For Ship Repair Revival On Lake Erie
In Toledo Ohio ship repair may revive as the southern Lake Erie hub with seven ships slated for winter work. Toledo is the only significant repair yard in the area while Cleveland shows several ships and Lorain has none. Industry veteran Tony LaMantia notes drifting demand and aging fleets, but local leaders argue Toledo’s history and location give it a fighting chance to attract buyers and federal funds for yard revitalization.
