Six docks and dredged slips with storage for some seven million tons of coal anchor Pinney Dock, the centrepiece of Ashtabula (UN/LOCODE US ASF), a Lake Erie dry-bulk port in Ohio rather than a container or general-cargo facility. The harbour moves roughly five million tons a year, more than 90 percent of it iron ore inbound, alongside sand, gravel, stone and limestone, while coal moves mainly outbound; the Kinder Morgan-operated Pinney Dock transships coal to power utilities and cement makers across Canada and the Great Lakes basin. The St. Lawrence Seaway links Ashtabula to the Atlantic, though its trade stays centred on lake and bulk cargo. Norfolk Southern and CSX provide rail service, and Interstate 90 lies about five miles away, connecting the port to Buffalo to the east and Chicago to the west. Shippers needing containers or intermodal services route instead via the Port of Cleveland to the southwest or rail-linked East Coast gateways.
