Opening Lake Erie shipping lanes as scheduled will help lengthen the loading and unloading Longshore season on maritime docks. The Coast Guard conducted ice-breaking operations in Sandusky Bay this week in order to keep ships moving in and out of Sandusky Bay. Icebreakers have been working the waterways to keep them jam-free. The shipping season will resume March 25 when the Great Lakes are reopened to major traffic.
