THE ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY

TRAFFIC REPORT

2003 NAVIGATION SEASON

PREPARED BY
EDITORIAL NOTES

The Traffic Report for The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation is an annual publication

prepared jointly by The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation and the Saint Lawrence Seaway

Development Corporation. Prior to 1983, the last jointly prepared Traffic Report was published in 1976.

During the interim years, separate reports were published by the two entities.

This report covers the navigation year as reported in Table S3, page 7. The calendar year or the fiscal

year is not considered.

As of 1999, the format of this report has been modified; some of the tables published in prior Traffic

Reports have been removed. However, the primary contents of this report are still divided into four

parts:

Part I - Table summaries of the 2003 St. Lawrence Seaway traffic activities.

Part II - Table summaries of cargo and vessel movements through the St. Lawrence Seaway.

These tables represent total Seaway traffic, eliminating duplication of vessel transits and

cargo quantities moved through more than one traffic sector.

Part III - Table summaries of cargo and vessel movements through the Montreal - Lake Ontario

Section of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Part IV - Table summaries of cargo and vessel movements through the Welland Canal Section of

the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Starting with the 1993 report, historical tables cover the latest 20 years. Anyone needing historical tables

going back to 1959 can request the “Historical Tables” brochure from either office.

As in past years, transits and gross registered tonnage for non-toll traffic are not included in this report.

Passenger vessels are considered to be cargo vessels, and for transit and gross registered tonnage

purposes, are included amongst the loaded or ballast transits of the cargo vessel category.

Prior to 1999, each tug and barge combination was considered to be one unit and / or one transit. From

that period onward, each vessel is considered to be a separate transit.

Users of this report should note that all cargo and transit figures are based on the transit of at least one

lock of the section of the Seaway for which statistics are given.

PART I

ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY TOLL TRAFFIC

DEFINITIONS

AND

2003 TRAFFIC SUMMARIES
DEFINITIONS

In this report, cargo quantities are recorded in metric tonnes. If required, short ton

equivalencies may be calculated by multiplying the metric quantities using the 1.1023

conversion factor.

For the interpretation of the tabulations contained in this report, the following definitions should

be noted:

a) Bulk Cargo The tonnes of bulk cargo assessed at the Bulk rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls

b) Cargo Tonnes The tonnes of cargo carried by a vessel on each or any transit.

c) Coal Cargo The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Coal rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls. Previous to

1999, coal was listed under Bulk.

d) Commodity The classification of commodities is based on that prescribed

by the Canadian Transport Commission and the Interstate

Commerce Commission of the United States.

e) Container Cargo The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Containers rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

f) Destination The country in which the cargo was unloaded and/or the transit

terminated.

g) General Cargo The tonnes of cargo assessed at the General rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

h) Government Aid

Cargo

The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Government Aid rate of

tolls as defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

i) Grain Cargo The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Grains rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

j) Gross Registered

Tonnage

The gross registered tonnage of a vessel according to the

Lloyd’s Register of Ships designation.

k) Mixed Cargo Indicates that a vessel carried a combination of Bulk, Coal,

Grain, Government Aid, Containers, General or Steel Slab

cargoes.
l) Origin The country in which the cargo was loaded and/or the transit

originated.

m) Passenger Prior to 2003, in Table S1, the Gross Registered Tonnage for

the Passenger Vessels was included in the Non-Cargo

Vessels.

n) Steel Slab Cargo The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Steel Slab rate of tolls as

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

o) Transit A partial or complete upbound or downbound passage of a

ship through one or more locks of a Seaway Canal.

p) Tug and Barge

Combination

Prior to 1999, the assessment of tolls required tugs and barges

in common transits be considered as one unit. From 1999

onwards, the tug and the barge are each considered to be a

separate transit, and the number of transits shown under

"Barge" are strictly barge transits. Tug transits are now

included in the non-cargo category.

It should be noted, in any analysis, that there is not necessarily a relationship between a

specific “Commodity” classification and a “Tariff of Tolls” classification. Due to the method of

packaging, handling, special refinements or other provisions, an otherwise identical commodity

item may be classified in any of the Bulk, Coal, Grain, Government Aid, Containers, General or

Steel Slab Tariff of Tolls categories.
