# Oswego (US OSW) **UN/LOCODE:** US OSW **Country:** United States **Water Body:** Lake Ontario; Great Lakes **Harbor Size:** Small **Harbor Type:** River (Natural) **GPS:** 43.4667, -76.5167 About one million tonnes of cargo pass through Oswego each year, handled by the Port of Oswego Authority on Lake Ontario. The mix centres on grain, prime aluminium for the nearby Novelis plant, salt, potash, fertilizer, cement and petroleum products, and Oswego is New York State's only waterborne grain export point on the lake. Breakbulk and project cargo feature strongly too, from wind-turbine sections to nuclear power plant components. Scheduled container lines are not part of the picture; Oswego is a bulk, breakbulk and project port within the St. Lawrence Seaway system. Road and rail connections link it to the central New York hinterland. For container traffic, coastal gateways such as New York/New Jersey, or Montreal via the seaway, are the practical alternatives. ## Transit Times & Routes - [Los Angeles → Shanghai](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-shanghai) - [Los Angeles → Shenzhen](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-shenzhen) - [Los Angeles → Guangzhou](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-guangzhou) - [Los Angeles → Hong Kong](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-hong-kong) - [Los Angeles → Tokyo](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-tokyo) - [Los Angeles → Busan](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/transit-time/los-angeles-busan) --- *Freight Academy — Seaport Profile: [https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/oswego-port-us-osw](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/oswego-port-us-osw)* *Markdown mirror: [https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/oswego-port-us-osw](https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/oswego-port-us-osw)* *LLM-Summary (JSON): https://www.freight-academy.com/api/v1/seaports/oswego-port-us-osw/llm-summary?lang=en*
