Let’s Talk Tonnage.
The Port of Duluth-Superior handles 35 million short tons
of cargo, on average, every shipping season.
Nearly 60% is Minnesota-mined iron ore.
Shipments of ore along with limestone, coal, grain,
salt, cement and project cargoes make us the
largest tonnage port on the Great Lakes.
The Port and the Iron Range have been linked since
the first shipment of ore nearly 130 years ago.
Together, iron mining and shipping have a
huge impact on the economic vitality
of our industrial heartland.
