When international cargo crosses the Atlantic and moves through the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System, it reaches an industrial, agricultural and commercial heartland of 100 million people, or approximately one-quarter of the combined U.S. and Canadian population.

A venerable vessel of the Fednav fleet, the 𝘍𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘰 recently completed that voyage, carrying a variety of breakbulk cargo and finishing with a call at our heavy-lift docks in Duluth – North America's farthest-inland seaport.

That direct, free-flowing waterborne route into North America's heartland provides a more efficient, personalized way to reach key inland markets. Our multimodal logistics hub is located within 400 miles of the continent's geographic center, with direct connections to major road and rail networks serving the U.S. and Canada.
