“(Midwest Terminals of) Toledo is interesting for the lumber – you have a very big yard where you can store the lumber outside, and Toledo is seen as a very good logistical distribution center for this area. Cleveland and Detroit could be options, but they don’t have these big facilities.”

“Midwest has impressed customers with its efficient handling of their cargo. On several occasions, the stevedore has unloaded ships faster than scheduled, and it has rearranged commodity storage at the dock to reduce handling.”

"Toledo is front and center" promoting increased trade through the Seaway system, said Dick Corfe, president of Canada's St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp., which operates the Welland Canal and five Canadian locks in the St. Lawrence River.....The 32,000 tons of sugar that Toledo received this year represent the first such shipments west of Toronto in recent years, Mr. Corfe said, and the 44,000 tons of aluminum shipped here from Sept-Iles, Que., represent a commodity that the Seaway lost years ago to other modes of transport - primarily rail."
