Inland ports along the Great Lakes are helping to fill the gap in supply-chain disruption.
With coastal ports jammed, inland ports along the Great Lakes are stepping up to help the supply-chain
With major ports along the US east and west coasts struggling with cargo backlogs due to knock-on effects from supply chain issues caused by everything from China's Covid lockdowns to Russia's war in Ukraine, shippers are looking to long-ignored ports as a way to get supplies into and out of America.In August, a Dutch shipping company added an additional vessel to its Antwerp-Cleveland route to meet growing demand.
The deregulation of the rail and especially the trucking industries in 1980, combined with the offshoring of manufacturing to Asia and elsewhere, however, saw the decline of the Great Lakes ports. Six hundred and thirty miles northwest of Cleveland, the Port of Duluth-Superior - the largest in the Great Lakes - has expanded its facilities to include a customs station that now allows it to handle international cargo.
