HISTORICAL TABLES - 1959 - 1992
The Historical Tables 1959 - 1992 booklet is an addendum to the Annual Traffic Report. The 

annual report is jointly prepared by The Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation and the

Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.

Contents are historical tables only, covering the first 24 years of Seaway activity.

The annual "St. Lawrence Seaway Traffic Report", issued each spring, documents prior year activity

in considerable detail. The annual report includes the same historical tables found in this document,

but will contain only the latest 20 years. The annual report will be the document of interest to 

most readers.

This booklet is divided into four parts:

Part I - Historical table summaries of the 1959 - 1992 St. Lawrence Seaway traffic activities by

 traffic sectors; the Montreal-Lake Ontario Section and the Welland Canal Section.

Part II - Historical 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 - Historical table summaries of cargo and vessel movements through the Montreal-Lake

 Ontario Section of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Part IV - Historical table summaries of cargo and vessel movements through the Welland Canal 

 Section of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Transits and gross registered tonnages for non-toll traffic are not included in this report.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 
Traffic Summaries

PART I

St. Lawrence Seaway Toll Traffic 

Definitions

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

calculated by multiplying the metric quantities using the 1.1023 conversion factor. Historical cargo data,

published in short tons prior to 1978, have been converted to metric equivalences.

For the interpretation of the tabulations contained in this traffic 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) Coastal Means transits to or from the Maritimes and U.S. Atlantic Ports.

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 containerized cargo assessed at the Containers rate of tolls 

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

f) Destination Means 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 The tonnes of cargo assessed at the Government Aid rate of tolls as 

Cargo defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

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

defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls.

j) Gross Registered The gross registered tonnage of a vessel according to the country of 

Tonnage registry.

 

k) Inland Means transits to and from inland ports connected by water routes made

navigable by one or more lock structures.

l) Mixed Cargo Indicates that a vessel carried any combination of Grains, Government Aid,

Containers, General or Bulk cargoes.

DEFINITIONS 
m) Origin Means the country in which the cargo was loaded and/or the transit

originated.

n) Overseas Means transits to or from Foreign Ports beyond the Coast of Canada 

and the United States.

o) Package Freight In the historical tables, designates cargo consisting of miscellaneous

packages generally unidentifiable as to commodity and carried only on

vessels licensed by the respective Authorities in Canada and the United 

States. This commodity classification is no longer applicable.

p) Transit A partial or complete upbound or downbound passage of a vessel 

through one or more locks of a Seaway canal.

q) Tug and Barge The assessment of tolls requires tugs and barges in common transit to 

Combinations be considered as one unit. In this report the number of transits shown

under this category represents the number of combined passages plus 

the number of individual tugs transiting the Seaway.

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, Grains, Government Aid, Containers or General tariff of tolls categories.
