Thunder Bay has what we call the legacy of capacity. At one time we did most of the grain shipments in Canada through the port. We had the reputation of being the largest grain port in the world and we still have the largest grain storage. The number of facilities and that excess capacity leads to our quick ship turnaround time, because you have so many facilities available and reduced tonnages through the eastern corridor. Much of the grain shipment has moved to Asia, so we have lost a lot of it. It was traditionally to Europe and the Soviet Union. When those markets changed, of course, Thunder Bay declined in tonnage, but we still have the facilities.
What's happening today to some extent is that you're seeing a rush to the west coast even for European shipments, to take advantage of an anomaly in freight rates on Panamax vessels. These ships are much larger than Seaway size, and the rates are so attractive on these ships that they're trying to hit those by going through the Panama Canal and exporting to Europe.
The problem we have is that when people do this, the demurrage is piling up in Vancouver. When you do the actual costing, you probably should have been on the Seaway with those shipments. Our car turnaround time is much faster, and you don't have to cross the Rocky Mountains to get to Thunder Bay; it's all downhill from the Prairies.
