Legislation could hurt Thunder Bay Port
Three quarters of the Port of Thunder Bay's commercial business could be lost if the State of New York goes ahead with its ballast water treatment legislation. C.E.O. Tim Heney says the legislation has wide implications for Thunder Bay since most of the grain ships travel the St. Lawrence Seaway. Heney is calling on the Federal Government to work with New York State to find a solution to their proposed legislation.
