Twice a year the ferry terminal at Kingsville switches roles with its sister port Leamington, alternating each spring and autumn as the Ontario mainland link to Pelee Island. Kingsville (UN/LOCODE CA KVL) sits on the north shore of Lake Erie with a channel depth of just 1.8 metres, ruling out any deep-draft cargo calls. The Owen Sound Transportation Company runs the MV Pelee Islander II from here every autumn, carrying passengers, vehicles and everyday supplies rather than commercial freight. Several marinas, including Erie View Marine and Melton Brothers Marina, cater to recreational and fishing boats along the shoreline. Road access via Highway 3 connects the port to the Windsor-Detroit border crossing, one of the busiest trade corridors in North America. Businesses needing genuine container or bulk handling on this stretch of Lake Erie should look instead to the ports of Windsor, Ontario, or Toledo, Ohio.
