The Great Lakes Seaway Partnership, March 28, 2018
Located at the western-most point of Lake Superior on the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, the Port of Duluth-Superior is considered the “bulk cargo capital” of the Great Lakes.
Truly the start of the seaway system, the Port of Duluth-Superior connects the U.S. and Canadian heartland to the rest of the world. It is the backbone of the region’s economy, providing maritime transportation for a wide variety of industries including mining, manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, construction and power generation—handling commodities ranging from iron ore (#1 nationally), coal, limestone, grain, cement and salt to wood pulp/paper, steel coil, wind turbine components and other heavy-lift project cargo.
