Overseas Ship Set to Dock at the Port of Milwaukee Tomorrow

Federal Welland is the First to Arrive in 2013 via the St. Lawrence
Seaway

 

The overseas shipping season officially begins Thursday at the Port of
Milwaukee with the arrival of the Federal Welland, a cargo ship that
sailed from the Netherlands.  The ship is bringing in raw material for
manufacturing.  It is the first vessel of 2013 to arrive at Milwaukee's
port through the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

 

The Federal Welland is scheduled to dock at Terminal 2 at approximately
4:00 pm on April 4th.

 

The Port of Milwaukee remains active throughout the winter as trucks and
trains move cargo.  Ships moving bulk material such as salt and cement
between ports on the Great Lakes continue to operate during much of the
winter.

 

In 2012, nearly three dozen vessels moved cargo to and from the Port of
Milwaukee by way of the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

 

[Note to Editors:  Media representatives interested in photographing the
arrival can contact Jeff Fleming at 414-286-8580 to confirm the time and
arrange for access.]
