Collaborating, competing in a global marketplace

Duluth Cargo Connect is a working partnership of Duluth Seaway Port Authority and Lake Superior Warehousing.

Together, we provide seamless cargo handling, storage, distribution and transportation logistics services for bulk, breakbulk, heavy lift and other project cargoes moving in and out of North America’s heartland via the Port of Duluth.

Created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1955 in anticipation of the St. Lawrence Seaway opening, the Port Authority brings business to the port and economic development to the region. The Port Authority owns and manages the Clure Public Marine Terminal and an adjacent newly developed pier (the Clure Terminal Expansion).

Lake Superior Warehousing has operated the terminal and warehouses under contract with the Port Authority since 1991. Having earned a world-class reputation for professional service and customer satisfaction, Duluth is recognized as a top-ranked North American port by the Railway Industrial Clearance Association, and Duluth Cargo Connect earned Port/Terminal Operator of the Year honors from Heavy Lift & Project Forwarding International magazine in 2019.
