Water Ports
Nine ports on Lake Erie and 16 terminals along the Ohio River rank Ohio the fourth-largest maritime state by tonnage moved. Because Ohio Port Authorities frequently offer both water and air transport, Ohio's maritime system proves a critical advantage in product transport. The West Central Ohio Industrial Center is located about midway between the Port of Toledo on Lake Erie and numerous terminals on the Ohio River near Cincinnati. Interstate 75 provides a direct link between both maritime options.
Wyandot County is 60 miles from one of the busiest water port transportation centers on the Great Lakes. The
Port of Toledo, located at the union of the Maumee River and the western basin of Lake Erie allows business professionals to expand and accelerate their supply chain. Adequate access to the Port of Toledo links Wyandot County to a multitude of domestic and international markets via the marine transportation system.
The Toledo Seaport is located at a national crossroads of four railroads (NS, CSX, CN, Wheeling & Lake Erie) and two transcontinental highways (I-75 and the Ohio Turnpike I-80/90). Forty-three percent of the U.S. industrial market and forty-seven percent of the Canadian market are located within a one day drive
(500 mile radius) of Toledo.
