Heney touts benefits of ship purchases

An announcement that the Canadian Wheat Board is purchasing new ships is good news for Thunder Bay. That's according to Port Authority CEO Tim Heney. He says given that the life of the lakers is about 45 years, it's a sign that there is confidence in the seaway system which we are a part of.   He says it's a major investment and adds this is the first vessel purchase for the Wheat Board.
