Shipments of coal on the Great Lakes totaled 580,419 tons in March, an increase of 18 percent compared to a year ago. However, loadings were nearly 45 percent below the month's 5-year average. Year-to-date, the Lakes coal trade stands at 1.3 million tons, an increase of 20 percent compared to the same point in 2010. Again, however, shipments lag behind the 5-year average, in this instance, by 42 percent. Glen G. Nekvasil Vice President Lake Carriers' Association 20325 Center Ridge Rd.
