A loaded cargo ship briefly grazed one of the walls of the Canal Park pier in Duluth Monday morning.

Visit Duluth and the Duluth Seaway Port Authority's 'First Ship' contest is back for 2020, looking for guesses of when the first saltie of the season arrives.

The Happy River cargo ship arrived in Duluth after a long trip from Amsterdam, Netherlands fully loaded with towers for wind turbines.

Interlake Steamship Company announced Tuesday they will be adding a new ship to their fleet, the first new addition to Great Lakes shipping in more than 35 years.

With a slight frost in the air now the holidays will be here before you know it, and if you need items shipped you better pay attention.

Captian Jason Church shared another incredible video of his ship, Thunder Bay, entering the Duluth Harbor.

Earlier this morning (March 22nd), The Twin Ports saw the first freighter Depart Duluth of the 2017 season. The Roger Blough is a Great Lakes bulk carrier and is expected to land in Two Harbors to load iron ore pellets. Check out the video below.

If you've noticed this ship anchored just outside the Duluth Harbor for a few days with smaller vessels coming and going from time to time, you're not alone.

If you enjoy visiting Park Point, but don't like being held up by a ship that has the bridge raised up; here are some handy tools to avoid being "bridged".

At around noon on Monday (April 13), the Twin Ports welcomed the first ocean-going ship into the harbor for the 2015 shipping season.

The shipping season is underway for Duluth, having already seen some early regional traffic out of the harbor. While some 'lakers' are already making their way around the Great Lakes, the first ocean-going 'saltie' of the year has yet to traverse the seaway and enter the Twin Ports. When will the first saltie of the year arrive? Your guess could earn you a prize!
