Cargo Shipping

The state of Indiana annually ships 75 million tons of cargo by water each year, which ranks 15th among all U.S. states and ahead of many coastal states. More than half of Indiana's border is water, which includes 400 miles of direct access to two major freight transportation arteries - the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway, via Lake Michigan, and the Inland Waterway System, via the Ohio River.

The state's three-port system serves the world's most productive industrial and agricultural region through a combination of strategic location, intermodal connections and specialized facilities.
