Port of Cincinnati

Cincinnati’s river terminals connect the Ohio River with industrial customers and inland transport routes. The local waterfront includes facilities handling dry bulk materials, steel and general cargo, with barges providing a waterborne link for goods moving through the region.

Along Mehring Way, the Port of Cincinnati terminal specialises in cargo carried as individual units or bundles, including steel products, minerals and palletised goods. Nearby Cincinnati Bulk Terminals offers transfer between river, road and rail, together with storage for materials awaiting onward movement.

Connections with railway operators and the interstate highway network give these facilities access to inland markets. Their value lies in combining barge transport with local handling and distribution, allowing different types of industrial cargo to move through several specialised waterfront sites.
