Despite sitting on the Detroit River where it links Lake Erie with Lake St. Clair, Amherstburg (CA AMH) has only limited commercial freight relevance. A channel depth of about 4.9 m keeps fully loaded Seaway vessels away; the small harbour mainly serves local bulk and aggregate handling, a Canadian Coast Guard base whose wharf is currently being repaired, and recreational traffic. No container lines or international general-cargo services operate here. Forwarders route such shipments through Windsor, Ontario, or Detroit on the US side.
