Salt, grain, steel, aggregates, fluorspar, lumber, petroleum products, vehicles and heavy-lift project cargo move across Windsor, a Great Lakes port on the Detroit River opposite Detroit. The Windsor Port Authority oversees 14 terminals with roughly 90 acres of outdoor storage and about 160,000 square feet of warehousing, handling around 3.15 million tonnes of cargo in 2024, down from 3.79 million in 2023 in a transition year of construction and inventory adjustment. Salt shipments resumed in 2024 after an inventory drawdown. An ADM facility combines a grain terminal with a crush plant that processes soybean and canola oil from eastern and western Canada. Windsor runs no container liner service, so containerised consignments route through Montreal or the US ports along the Detroit corridor. Road and rail tie the port into southwestern Ontario and the Detroit-area market. For comparable Great Lakes bulk handling, Hamilton and Toronto are the nearest larger alternatives.
