Port of Green Bay announces end of year tonnage totals from 2024, slight drop-off
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – As the shipping season for 2024 ends at the Port of Green Bay, officials have revealed the year-end totals of tonnage cargo, which experienced a slight decrease. According to the release, the Port of Green Bay handled a total of 1,696,097 tons of cargo this past season, a decrease of about 6% from the prior season which saw 1,813,996 tons. Wisconsin meat shop expands Voluntary Class II recall, includes 6 additional products While the Port of Green Bay saw 10 additional cargo carriers this year compared to the previous (181 to 171), shipments of multiple products decreased. Limestone, salt and petroleum shipments decreased, however cement and coal transports increased. The decrease in salt and overall decreases could be due to varying factors, including a strike and the mild winter 'Great Lakes ports experienced a brief pause during this season due to a strike, while last season's mild winter created lower demand for salt during 2024,' Director Dean Haen said. Cement totals increased 21% as liquid asphalt went up 10%, which indicates strong construction work in the area. While it may have been a decrease, officials are still pleased with their season overall, and how it ended. Special Report: Behind the stories we uncovered for Black History Month 'Despite being slightly down in tonnage this year, it was a good year for shipping, and we're pleased with how the season ended,' Haen said. 'We're proud, along with our private sector partners, to be critical link in a resilient supply chain that supports the regional and national economies.'
