The seaway on the map is named the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is named after the St. Lawrence River. The seaway connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing for maritime transportation between the interior of North America and the rest of the world. The St. Lawrence River and Seaway have played a significant role in the economic development of the region by providing a vital transportation route for goods.
The authority to set fees for passage through the Saint Lawrence Seaway locks is held by the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC), which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The SLSDC collaborates with its Canadian counterpart, the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC), to establish and coordinate these fees. The fees are determined based on various factors, including operational costs and maintenance needs for the waterway.
