About This Seaport
U.S. Steel's Gary Works anchors this Lake Michigan port, operating its own East and West docks where self-unloading lakers land iron ore, pellets, limestone and dolomite and load scrap and finished steel. Close by, the Buffington Harbor terminal takes limestone, cement clinker, bauxite and other dry bulk for the building-materials trade. There is no container or scheduled breakbulk service here; Gary is a raw-materials bulk port serving steel and aggregates. Connected to the wider world through the St. Lawrence Seaway, it shares the Great Lakes' seasonal limit, with winter ice curtailing navigation. Dense rail and interstate links tie it into the Chicago industrial hinterland. For containerised freight, Chicago is the obvious alternative, while neighbouring Burns Harbor handles additional bulk.
