| We are intermodal |
The Clure Public
Marine Terminal, shown above, owned by the Duluth Seaway Port Authority,
is a prime 120-acre site located in the heart of the Duluth-Superior
Harbor.
And it is a classic illustration of an intermodal operation.
Tenants range from a state-of-the-art ship fueling terminal to
metal fabricators, steel and plastic pipe distributors, bulk
oil companies,
a United Parcel Service outlet and a lumber processing and treatment
facility.
The terminal also encompasses five specialized warehouses that
combine safe, efficient storage and transfer of all types of
general cargo.
(See Page 6 for a story about one of the warehouses.)
The terminal efficiently accommodates cargo from sea, rail
and road. Much of the traffic is intermodal, with commodities
arriving
via
one mode of transportation and departing via another.

the back: This view is from the stern of the
Sundew as she cuts through the ice of the Duluth-Superior Harbor
during her final icebreaking season.
She’ll be replaced later this year by the new Coast Guard Cutter
Alder, but she won’t be leaving town. (Pages
