The Business Journal reported that despite a slight decline in Great Lakes shipping this year and the loss of intermodal container service by Canadian Pacific Railway, the Port of Milwaukee could still match the amount of revenue it generated last year.
Mr Paul Vornholt operations and trade director said that the port returned USD 1.3 million in revenue to the city of Milwaukee’s general fund last year. He said that “I’m optimistic that we’re going to be very close to that “Overall we’ve held our own. I’m optimistic for 2013.”
