Set at the northern tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula where the Straits of Mackinac join Lakes Huron and Michigan, Mackinaw City is chiefly a ferry-departure town rather than a cargo port. Its docks serve the passenger and freight ferries crossing to Mackinac Island, with no terminal for containers, bulk or breakbulk vessels. For forwarders the commercial relevance is limited, essentially tied to the island ferry service. Waterborne trade is handled at larger Great Lakes ports such as Detroit or Alpena.
