About the Ports of Indiana–Burns Harbor
Ports of Indiana–Burns Harbor on Lake Michigan serves the steel mills of northwest Indiana. Ocean-going ships bring in steel, grain and project cargo.
Who orders beef in Burns Harbor
Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in Burns Harbor can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
Ocean-going ships enter the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is usually open from late March to late December. We plan stock around that season. We supply Great Lakes ports through partner chandlers and refrigerated freight, delivered to the berth or the chandler's warehouse.
In Burns Harbor your order reaches the berth or the chandler's warehouse in sealed cases, with the temperature log for the whole trip.
