The Port of Milwaukee moved 318,000 million metric tons of cargo through the Seaway, a 22 percent increase over the 261,000 metric tons posted in 2008. Milwaukee, Wisconsin's largest port, was one of only two ports in the US Great Lakes Seaway System to post gains last year.

This year's award marks the ninth time the Port of Milwaukee has won the Pacesetter Award, which is presented annually to US Great Lakes Seaway ports that register an increase in international tonnage shipped through the Seaway when compared to the previous navigation season.
