The Port of Green Bay recorded a 6% decrease in total cargo tonnage for 2024, handling just under 1.7 million tons compared to 1.8 million tons in 2023.
Shipments of salt, limestone, and petroleum products declined, while cement and coal volumes increased. The port welcomed 181 cargo vessels this season, up from 171 vessels last year.
“Despite a slight drop in tonnage, it was a strong year for shipping, and we’re pleased with the season’s outcome,” said Dean Haen, Port of Green Bay Director. “We remain a key part of a resilient supply chain that supports regional and national economies.”
The increase in cement (up 21%) and liquid asphalt (up 10%) reflects continued demand from Northeastern Wisconsin’s construction sector. Additionally, petroleum exports, including ethanol, showed steady growth, highlighting the strength of the state’s agriculture industry.
The tonnage of constructed aluminum components doubled, supporting the Bay of Green Bay’s shipbuilding industry.
