The Port of Green Bay was recently honored by the U.S. Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation.
The organization granted the Robert J. Lewis Pacesetter Award to the Port of Green Bay and to the Illinois International Port District.
This award was established in 1992 to recognize the “achievements of U.S. ports whose activities result in increasing international tonnage shipped through the St. Lawrence Seaway in comparison with the previous year.”
During the 2023 navigation season, the Port of Green Bay had cargo either to or from Brazil, Germany, and Sweden and saw a 166% increase in international cargo tonnage, totaling more than 20,700 freight tons.
Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach said that this award “underscores the growing role that the Port of Green Bay plays in the global economy. We look forward to celebrating even more of the Port’s accomplishments in future shipping seasons.”
