Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The present study investigates the probability of future changes in location of grain-handling port facilities as a result of the use of the improved Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway by the grain export trade. An analysis of the impact of the lake exports of grain in 1959 on other port areas provides a background for evaluating the major factors which might ultimately be responsible for changes in the domestic flow pattern of export grain and, consequently, for changes in the location of grain-handling port facilities. Because the main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the Seaway on the volume of grain exported from other ports, changes in volume not directly attributable to the operation of the Seaway in grain export trade are not discussed.
