Our winter 2021-2022 edition continues the tradition of offering an annual review of key developments on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence System, incorporating a pandemic recovery trend among ports and shipping lines in both Canada and the United States. A second feature looks at how various Canadian stakeholders successfully adjusted to the challenges of the 2021 Arctic shipping season. And finally, there is a special profile of Ocean Group, a true jewel of Quebec maritime industry entrepreneurship marking its 50th anniversary in 2022 while expanding its markets to Canada’s west coast, the Caribbean and Latin America.
