More Than a Port — Ohio’s Leader in Economic Development
Established as the first port authority in the State of Ohio, The Port of Toledo is a global gateway in the heart of the Midwest. Compared to other ports on the East Coast and Gulf Coast, the Port of Toledo is closer to many major European ports, connecting Northwest Ohio’s manufacturing and agricultural industries to international markets.
The Port provides easy access to Class I railroads and interstates and serves as a critical link in the St. Lawrence Seaway System. In addition, the Port of Toledo values environmental stewardship and the Toledo Harbor ecosystem, partnering with state and federal agencies to monitor dredging and spearhead restoration projects.
