During the month of May, 145,329 tons of cargo moved through the Port of Green Bay, an increase from the same month in 2025, where totals reached 123,794 tons.
“Heavy rainfall resulting in temporary disruptions to vessel navigation and port operations kicked off a slower start to the shipping season during March and April,” explained Dean Haen, Port of Green Bay Director. “We are happy to see numbers beginning to rise and self-regulate despite challenges presented by the elevated flow conditions earlier this year.”
This month, a total of six commodities moved through the Port, including cement (38,968 tons), limestone (16,996 tons), liquid asphalt (5,998 tons), U.S. salt (24,453 tons), petroleum products (52,744 tons), and wood pulp/paper reels (6,124 tons). All commodities have increased since the months of March and April of this year with petroleum products year-to-date totals tracking 321% higher than 2025.
To make this all happen, 13 vessels entered the Port, bringing the year to date total to 17.
