Notes:

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.
