Lake Carriers' Reports

Great Lakes Tanker

Trade Up In 1970

The volume of petroleum products transported on the Great Lakes re- flected the overall upward trend of the lake trade during 1970, it was announced by Oliver T. Burnham, vice president, Lake Carriers' Asso- ciation. The organization's annual announcement concerning the year's lake tanker tonnage, including both

United States and Canadian fleets, shows that a total of 13,872,812 net tons, the equivalent of 99,904,812 barrels, were transported.

The tanker trade in 1970 repre- sented the maximum achievement for this segment of Great Lakes com- merce since the season of 1961. It is interesting to note that the fleet in 1970 was comprised of 69 units, compared with 87 carriers available during the earlier year.

Shipments in 1970, expressed in barrels, were 4.63 percent above those of the preceding year, while the tonnage equivalent represented a trade expansion of 5.52 percent. The tanker fleet was composed of 18 U.S. vessels, and 29 Canadian carriers, be- ing augmented by 21 New York State

Barge Canal tankers, which partici- pated in the lower lakes movement. illes
