Notes:

This report revised on September 20, 1996.
This report covers cargo moving on the main branch of the Cuyahoga, the Old River Bed, and iron ore received at Lakefront Ore Dock.
As a general rule, lakers to not deliver dry-bulk cargos to the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority docks.
The dry-bulk cargos are reported on a navigation season basis.
As a few tankers operate yearround, liquid-bulk cargos are reported on a calendar-year basis.
Comparisons with last year are problematic as 1996 is the first year for which complete reports have been received from three carriers.
