Coal shipments from the Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock Company totaled 1,048,011 net tons in November. That total represents one of the few times in the past 10 years or so that a Lake Erie port has shipped more than 1 million tons of coal in a single month. (The last time was in October, 1997, when Toledo loaded 1,009,647 n.t.) Coal supplies sufficient to meet pent-up demand from Canadian utilities drove Conneaut to load 41 cargos in November. For the season, coal loadings at Conneaut stand at 5.6 million tons.
