It is indicated that ports on the Great Lakes face an immediate dilemma. Unless a coordinated investment program in container facilities is undertaken to retain the hinterland's general cargo traffic, significant diversions of container traffic will occur. In the short run Lake ports should more effectively utilize the existing Seaway system and its facilities to halt the flow of diverted traffic. In the long run, regional load centers - one on Lake Michigan and the other on Lake Erie - equipped with the most modern container facilities may be required to prevent Lake ports from losing their general cargo traffic and financial stability.
