We use the term a lot, but just what is a terminal operator? It’s a business that uses the Port of Green Bay to move raw materials and products in and out of the port. These raw materials and products end up being used in any number of finished goods. From animal feed and asphalt to road salt and toothpaste (and many more in between), these materials contribute to our everyday quality of life.

About us
The Port of Green Bay is the western-most port of Lake Michigan, offering a direct route for shipping raw goods and materials, using the most cost effective and sustainable method of transportation available. An extensive network of highways and railroads provide a direct connection from the Port to regional markets and America's Heartland. There are 14 port businesses located along three miles of the Fox River. These businesses move more than two million tons of cargo on more than 200 ships each year. Port businesses handle dry bulk commodities such as coal, limestone and salt; bulk liquids like petroleum products, liquid asphalt and tallow; and break-bulk commodities including wood pulp and forest products, in addition to oversized cargo like machinery and wind components. The Port of Green Bay is a vital part of our local economy, our history and our lives. The Port of Green Bay contributes $147 million to the economy while supporting 1,289 jobs, according to an economic impact report released in 2018. The Port plays an important role in the transportation of goods and commodities that are critical to the economic health of the region. Opportunities for growth, whether using an existing port facility or developing a new property, makes the port an attractive option for businesses.

What the heck is SLAG and what is it used for? Slag is a byproduct of smelting; the process of extracting the metal from its ore. In many cases, slag is just discarded, but it can be used in construction as an aggregate, in agriculture to treat acidic soils and in wastewater treatment to lower acidity.
