June shipping through the Port of Green Bay finishes at just over 149,000 tons. That’s bellow the 281,000 tons of material was transported through the port in May. Brown County Port and Solid Waste Director Dean Haen says decreases in salt shipments are to blame. The demand for building products, however, have increase shipments of certain commodities.
“Everybody’s doing home improvement projects, ” Haen said. “The use of cement it up. Limestone being made into byproducts and manufactured goods. The paper industry is strong. So, we’ve been fortunate not to be significantly impacted by the pandemic.”
Haen says he believes the Port of Green Bay will still be meeting its 2021 shipping project of two-million tons.
