Lake coal trade increases amid Fairmont output gains
The season closed with over six million tons of soft coal shipped via the lakes, a rise of more than a million from prior years. Fairmont Coal Company led regional output, shipping about 900,000 tons to the lake trade, while an additional 1,000,000 tons of anthracite moved coastward. Docks and piers along the Great Lakes are expanding, with Northwestern Fuel Company and others reporting strong infrastructure at Sandusky, Lorain, Milwaukee, Duluth, and Washburn. Despite lakes closure, shipments to other markets rise, and Fairmont remains a major exporter, supplying gas and by product coal as demand grows nationwide. The winter outlook is bright, with full mine capacity and strong coke demand anticipated in the west.
