GLIN==> Only three coal cargos in March

The Great Lakes coal trade totaled only 116,000 tons in March, 3 cargos.
While the slumping economy was a factor, vessel operators delayed
sailing many of their vessels because of concerns about the adequacy of
Coast Guard icebreaking resources.  The delayed sailings illustrate the
need for Congress to pass H.R. 1747, the Great Lakes Icebreaker
Replacement Act that would fund construction of another heavy icebreaker
for the Great Lakes.  See attached for more details.
