In 2009, the U.S./Canadian binational St. Lawrence Seaway celebrated its 50th year of serving global commerce with a safe, secure, efficient, reliable, and cost competitive transportation route connecting the five Great Lakes to the world. Over those first 50 years, more than 2.5 billion metric tons of cargo has moved through the 15-lock waterway valued at more than $375 billion.
