St. Lawrence Seaway Opens for 2025 Shipping Season
The ATB Everlast and Norman McLeod, operated by McAsphalt Marine Transportation Limited, had the honor of serving as the ceremonial opening vessel, symbolizing the start of the 2025 navigation season.

In his address, Athanasiou highlighted the Seaway’s enduring strength and resilience, stating:
“While today is a moment to reflect on the history, partnerships, and people who built this system, it’s also about momentum, about where we go next.”
During the previous navigation season, the Seaway moved nearly 37 million metric tons of cargo, including commodities such as grain, potash, iron and steel. The 2024 season was also the longest on record.
“The Seaway is open and has the capacity today to move more cargo, strengthen supply chains, and support trade across North America,” Athanasiou said. “We’re here to help businesses grow and move goods efficiently – now and into the future.”
