The GLS also encourages the development of trade through the Great Lakes Seaway System, which contributes to the comprehensive economic and environmental development of the entire Great Lakes region. The GLS headquarters staff offices are located in Washington, D.C. Operations are located at the two U.S. Seaway locks (Eisenhower and Snell) in Massena, N.Y.

This week, the Port of Monroe was the site of a roll-on operation for two oversized project cargo pieces bound for the site of a new battery plant in Windsor, Ontario. This cargo evolution is just another example of how the Port of Monroe can play a critical role in regional supply chains. Great work to all involved in this project!
