GLIN==> Great Lakes Coal Trade Up Slightly in November

Coal shipments on the Great Lakes totaled 3,326,594 net tons in November, a virtual repeat of October, and a slight increase - 88,000 tons - compared to a year ago.  However, loadings were down 9.5 percent compared to November's 5-year average.



Shipments from Lake Superior were essentially unchanged from a year ago, but 9 percent off the month's 5-year average.  Loadings in Chicago too were little changed from a year ago, and two boatloads off the month's 5-year average.  The coal trade out of Lake Erie largely mirrored a year ago, but was 10 percent off November's 5-year average.



Year-to-date coal shipments stand at 29 million tons, an increase of 5.3 percent compared to a year ago.  However, through November, loadings are more than 17 percent (6 million tons) off the 5-year average.
