Iron ore being carried by U.S. Flag Great Lake freighters has taken a hit in the last year.
June and July's total of iron ore loaded was 4.7 million tons, that's a decrease of 10% from last year during those months.
Officials say the failure of the MacArthur Lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan did not play a major role in the month's totals, but six U.S.-flag lakers and 250,000 tons of cargo were delayed for about 13 hours between the lock's closure and midnight July 31.
