I'll use two examples. One would be gasoline products. We have a fleet of six product tankers that are trading around the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. We trade 12 months of the year. We never stop. We trade certainly into the seaway through the Welland Canal into the GTA area during the season. After the Welland Canal and St. Lawrence Seaway close, we trade gasoline from Sarnia into Green Bay, into Michigan and Wisconsin. We move petroleum products on the Great Lakes, both heavy and light, 12 months of the year.
One of the biggest bottlenecks is the Welland Canal. This is for domestic use. The GTA of course is the largest economy in Canada, and here it is on the other side of the Welland Canal. If the Welland Canal were to remain open just a few more weeks, there would be hundreds and hundreds fewer trucks on the road.
The second commodity is salt. Last year we actually had our ships also operating year-round out of Goderich delivering salt, mostly to U.S. communities that needed it. It was a harsh winter. We actually were laid up and boats were put away as there wasn't enough salt because it was being trucked across Ontario from Goderich into the Toronto area. That's a route we can make by water. The Soo Locks stay open until January 15.
