Chicago is a city built on its strategic maritime location. Its connection with the Great Lakes and Mississippi make it the principle interior trade route of the Americas.
I’ve dedicated a chapter in my new Amazon best-selling book Making Waves to the Great Lakes its maritime heritage challenges and opportunities today.
If the Great Lakes was a country it would be the third biggest economy in the world.
The St Lawrence Seaway provides direct waterborne access to this thriving economy. The seaway has many advantages for European companies to import and export direct to the heartland of Canada and America. Often faster than congested east coast ports and more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient than truck and rail.
The 2nd US themed edition of Making Waves: PR strategies to transform your maritime business is available now on Amazon today.
It features an overview of the US maritime industry as well as new chapters on social media, maritime technology, the global maritime industry, crisis communications and AI in PR.
