Mike McCoshen sworn in as new GLS Administrator
(Posted on 26/06/25)
J.M. (Mike) McCoshen has been sworn in as the twelfth Administrator of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS). GLS is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the U.S. portion of the St. Lawrence Seaway between Montréal and Lake Erie increasing maritime trade and economic development throughout the Great Lakes region.
“The team and I are very excited to have Mike onboard as our new Administrator,” said GLS Deputy Administrator Anthony Fisher. “To have an executive of his caliber from the maritime community we serve will help us expand the reach of American energy, industrial, and agricultural exports through reliable direct water service.”
A native of Superior, Wis., McCoshen brings more than 45 years of experience in maritime transportation and waterfront operations. He most recently served as President of McCoshen Logistics Solutions LLC, a consulting firm focused on bulk terminals and cargo logistics throughout the Great Lakes region. Previously, he spent two decades as President and Chief Operating Officer of Hallett Dock Company in Duluth, Minn., directing operations at the westernmost terminal on the Great Lakes. He began his career in 1976 as a heavy equipment operator and shiploader at the Burlington Northern (now BNSF Railway) taconite transshipment facility in Superior, Wis., steadily rising through the ranks to eventually manage that terminal’s operations. Across his career, he was involved in moving more than 200 million tons of cargo through the Seaway System.
“I want to thank President Donald J. Trump for appointing me to this key position at the U.S. Department of Transportation,” said GLS Administrator Mike McCoshen. “I fully appreciate the importance of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System, not only to international commerce and to our national transportation system, but also to advancing America’s maritime leadership and economic vitality.”
