Great Lakes/Seaway Ports Win Award The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Cor- poration announced that 11 U.S. Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway ports have earned the 1995 Seaway Port Pacesetter Award. The award is presented to ports which registered increased international tonnage during the 1994 naviga- tion season. According to Stanford E. Parris, adminis- trator of the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, the large number of winning ports is a result of an improved regional economy, a cost-effective waterway, and stronger market- ing initiatives by port officials. "The Seaway's overall tonnage was up 20 percent while U.S. trade through the Seaway was up more than 25 percent, marking the third consecutive year that U.S. Seaway trade with overseas markets has increased," said Mr.Parris.
