• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the need for an Integrated Marine Traffic Information and Control System (IMTIC) in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The analytic emphasis is on the Welland Canal to Gulf of St. Lawrence portion of the Seaway system. The Upper Great Lakes portion is considered only when interdicting impacts could affect Welland-St. Lawrence subsystem capabilities. An important conclusion is that the total Seaway system and its component elements require immediate and detailed analytical attention if future cargo demands are to be met.
