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 2005 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 

2005 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.
