Investissement dans la croissance
On dépense plus de 7 milliards de dollars dans les ports, les écluses et les infrastructures des navires afin de rendre le système binational de navigation sur les Grands Lacs et le Saint-Laurent plus sûr, plus efficace et plus évolué sur le plan écologique.
Cargaisons
Les agriculteurs, les producteurs d’acier, les entreprises de construction, les fabricants d’aliments, les producteurs d’énergie et les foyers canadiens dépendent des 230 millions de tonnes métriques de matières premières et de produits finis que les navires transportent chaque année sur les Grands Lacs et sur le Saint-Laurent La valeur de ces marchandises s’élève à plus de 100,5 milliards de dollars CAN.
Économies de transport annuelles
Le transport maritime sur le réseau des Grands Lacs et du Saint-Laurent permet de réaliser des économies annuelles de 3,6 milliards de dollars (US) en coûts de transport lorsqu’on le compare au mode de transport terrestre alternatif suivant le plus abordable. Ces économies renforcent le caractère concurrentiel des industries et des produits nord-américains à l’échelle mondiale et limite le coût des biens de consommation.
