Boat-building at Sturgeon Bay goes back nearly two centuries, and the Door County city on Lake Michigan still bills itself as the shipbuilding capital of the Great Lakes. That legacy now centres on Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding, which builds new self-unloading bulk carriers – including the first U.S. Great Lakes freighter constructed on the lakes in decades – and lays up six to sixteen lake freighters each winter for repair and upgrades. As a result the port is primarily an industrial shipbuilding and repair centre rather than a container or general-cargo facility, with commercial throughput limited to local bulk and liquid cargoes such as stone and fuel. Access is via the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, a shortcut off Lake Michigan, with road and rail links into Wisconsin's interior. Forwarders needing conventional bulk, project or container handling in the region turn to the larger ports of Green Bay and Milwaukee.
