Concrete docks, aggregate yards and barge berths line the Saginaw River at Bay City (UN/LOCODE US BCY), a multimodal Great Lakes port in Michigan sheltered by Saginaw Bay off Lake Huron. It takes both lakers and ocean-going vessels, the latter reaching it through the St. Lawrence Seaway, and links them with rail and highway connections inland. Steel, scrap metal and dry bulk such as aggregates define its cargo, handled by operators including Port Fisher Terminals (over 80 acres of storage), Bay Aggregates (a roughly 200-acre site with more than 4,000 feet of dock) and Saginaw Valley Marine Terminal & Warehouse. Like all Great Lakes ports, Bay City works a seasonal calendar shaped by winter ice and the Seaway's closure. Containerised cargo is not part of its profile. For boxes, forwarders route shipments through Detroit or Cleveland instead.
