The “Port of Detroit” is one of Michigan’s most important economic engines, responsible for the movement of 750 thousand tons of steel annually, supplying our automobile industry and providing hundreds of jobs and personal income. The dock at the Port of Detroit, located at the foot of Clark Street in southwest Detroit, is depended upon by Thyssen Krupp and Corus (formerly British Steel) to import their products to the Detroit Metropolitan area.


From this dock, steel coils and other steel products are transferred to processing centers all across Southeast Michigan and beyond. Historically, this site has long been used as an important industrial port to import lumber, copper, automobiles and now steel. Its strategic location near the Ambassador Bridge and major interstate freeways positions the Port of Detroit as an accessible and efficient port terminal.
