The Port of Monroe operates as an industrial, commercial, and recreational gateway for Monroe, Michigan. Situated on Lake Erie and divided by the River Raisin, it stands as Michigan's only port on the lake and lies about 35 miles south of Detroit and 17 miles north of Toledo. The port serves manufacturers, shippers, and suppliers by providing an alternative transportation option that complements inland routes and supports waterborne and rail movement. It pursues development within its property under environmental and public health safeguards, with the goal of creating local jobs and expanding the tax base for Monroe and surrounding jurisdictions. In line with its role in the maritime transportation industry, the port has announced plans to build a roll-on/roll-off dock capable of handling Seaway-size vessels to accommodate a broader range of cargo.
