Conneaut Port is in Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States.
Dock 3 is used for outgoing coal and energy products.
Location
The terminal is situated at Conneaut, Ohio on the south shore of Lake Erie.
Background
Conneaut Port is owned and operated by the Pittsburgh and Conneaut Dock Company (P&C Dock) of Canadian National Railroad. Use of the dock has slowed with the decline of the steel industry.[1] According to US Coal Exports, the port has a coal-handling capacity of 9 million short tons per year (approximately 8.17 million metric tonnes).[2]
Port Infrastructure Progam
The city of Conneaut has embarked on a multi-year plan to revitalize the waterfront area, with hopes to increase the port's economic utility.[3] In 2020, the city received a US$19.5 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant to aid the redevelopment initiative, formally called the Port Infrastructure Program.[4]
