July was a much better month for the Port of Green Bay.
A total of 214,573 tons of cargo passed through the Port, which is nearly 79,000 more than the previous month.
This spike in cargo helped bring the port a bit out of the red, as the tonnage totals are down 36% compared to this time last year, 11 points better than in June.
Dean Haen, the Director of the Port of Green Bay, noted, “While we are still working to close the gap from earlier this year, volumes of commodities such as wood pulp, cement, and petroleum products show encouraging momentum. We remain confident we’ll come close to matching last season’s tonnage.”
A total of six commodities moved through the Port in July, led by salt (63,855 tons), cement (57,755 tons,) and limestone (57,389 tons), and followed by coal (16,194 tons), petroleum products (10,462 tons), and wood pulp (8,918 tons).
A total of 20 vessels visited last month, compared to 15 ships in June.
