Canadian Short Sea Shipping –<br />
Delivering Value to Canada<br />
Serving one of the largest and most dynamic economic regions in the<br />
world, Canadian Short Sea Shipping provides efficient, sustainable<br />
and safe waterborne transportation that is vital to the success of<br />
North America’s agricultural and industrial heartland.<br />
4 ways we deliver value:<br />
1. Environmental value: Vessels operating on the Great Lakes are almost 9 times<br />
more fuel-efficient than trucks, and 59% more fuel-efficient than trains.<br />
2. Economic value: Canadian Short Sea Shipping delivers over 65 million metric tons of<br />
cargo every year and generates over $15 billion of business revenue. We also contribute<br />
$2 billion in federal, state and provincial taxes.<br />
3. Employment value: 90,000 jobs in Canada and $4.2 billion dollars in Canadian wages are<br />
generated annually by this sector<br />
4. Investment value: More than $7 billion is being invested in infrastructure, including<br />
$2 billion in the Canadian Short Sea Shipping fleet, to make the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence<br />
Seaway safer, more efficient and environmentally advanced.<br />
