摘要：	Whether it's the river system or the Great Lakes, navigation is all about connection, said Joe Savage, programs director for the Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. "Most people who are familiar with navigation know it's all about connection," he said. "An outage in one location affects everything up and downstream of that." What those in the river industry may not know is that the vast majority of commerce on the Great Lakes system is inter-lake, he said, quoting a statistic that 95 percent of U.S. shipping traffic on the lakes is internal to the Great Lakes and not foreign. What that means, he said, is that while overseas ports are often in competition with each other, "On the Great Lakes, they see themselves as complementary. Commodities are going from one port to another, so they have a great interest in each other's capacity, operations and maintenance." This is much like the river system, where cargo must also move smoothly from one location to another down the same waterway, using the same infrastructure.
