Expected shifts in commodity variability, supply chain patterns, and seasonal fluctuations have led to another down month in the Port of Green Bay.
Port Director Dean Haen reports that the port saw 123,794 tons of cargo in May, which is down 53% from last year.
Haen noted that the “moderated demand and shipment pacing across the region” is part of the reason, as the port is “still seeing the impacts of additional shipments of salt and coal from last year, along with typical year-to-year shifts in commodity availability, affecting coal and limestone.”
During May, there were four total commodities that moved through the Port, including cement (33,954 tons), limestone (60,875 tons), petroleum products (19,914 tons) and wood pulp (9,051 tons).
They were carried through on ten vessels, putting the year’s total at 17 ships.
