We anticipate a reduction in our environmental footprint. If these commodities and cargo were shipped by other modes of transportation, the environmental impact would be greater. Earlier, I alluded to the fact that each ship represents the equivalent of more than 1,000 trucks or 300 railway cars. So you have to imagine that, for 2,800 trips made via the seaway annually, there would be about 2.8 million trucks on a highway like the 401. Marine shipping helps reduce road congestion, which is great for the environment.
