Short Sea Shipping

Short Sea Shipping is an innovative approach to shipping and is a key part of the Hwy H2O program as new services steadily gain momentum in the region. Hwy H2O is perfectly poised to deliver this type of shipping because of our unique geographic location, range of routes, port infrastructure, and connection to rail and road arteries. Short Sea Shipping, a significant component to goods movement throughout Europe, has been increasingly identified as providing long term sustainability for the Great Lakes / Seaway System.

Short Sea Shipping provides customers with an important alternative routing option, adding reliability and diversity to the supply chain while complementing existing routes. In addition to bypassing congested surface routes and reducing stress on urban infrastructure, Short Sea Shipping creates a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
