That year more than half of all U.S. grain traffic moved directly over Erie seas from Lakes ports. Historically, the economic development of America's Heartland has been closely tied to the Great Lakes. The opening of the Northwest Territory in 1798 was a ma- jor boon to shipping on the Lakes.

U Q) Diversified cargo ports receive principally coal but differ from limited cargo ports in the additional variety of cargoes handled, such as cement, minerals, pulp, limestone and pet roleum. The diversity in the kinds of cargo handled is usually the result of several opera- tors in the port area. 40 Gateway port handle commodit es which have generally been transported to or from the port h nterland area, as opposed to shipments terminating at the port itself.

What is a foreign trade zone? It is land which for pur- poses of trade is designated as outside United States Cus- toms territory. A foreign trade zone encourages international commerce by providing foreign duty-free and quota-free en- try into specific areas under Customs' supervision within the United States for an unlimited period of time. Goods brought into a zone may be stored, exhibited, repacked, labeled, in- spected, assembled or otherwise processed. Merchandise is subject to duty only at the time it is shipped out of the zone into United States Customs territory. Goods shipped to for- Over 40 eign nations are not subject to U.S. Customs duty. The advantages of a foreign trade zone to manufacturers 20-40 are many. Firms which use imported goods in the manufac- turing process can finish their product in the zone and ex- 10-20 port from that location without paying duty on the foreign material. Because goods can be held indefinitely, manufac- 1-10 turers using or selling imported goods need not pay duty un- FerryRoules til they find a buyer for their product. Goods received in the zone which are faulty or damaged can be returned without payment of duty, and foreign goods can be received on a trial basis without incurring duty charges.

(D @T J A Terminal Facility (see list) MILWAUKEE 7 NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES The port of Milwaukee is located at the mouth of three rivers-the Milwaukee, the Menomonee and the Kinnickin- nic-and is one of the few Great Lakes ports open to navi- gation throughout the year. Numerous cargo terminals and dock warehouses are available to serve a large general cargo trade, about 80 % of which is destined for overseas ports. Shipments at Milwau- 2711 s, kee are characterized by diversity, and the port has a wide variety of facilities to handle most types of cargo, These in- clude refrigerated terminals, building materials wharves, grain elevators, petroleum terminals, liquid cargo terminals, and bulk handling and storage facilities. The port also boasts one of the largest fixed heavy lift derricks on the American side of the Great Lakes, plus a mobiie crane of 200-ton capacity which is specially fitted for container han- cling. Lift capacity will soon be increased further.with the addition of a 300-ton capacity mobile crane. The heaviest concentration of industrial activity in the state is located in the metropolitan Milwaukee area. While the city is perhaps best known for the production of beer, machinery manufacturing is the area's largest industry and employer of nearly half of the city's manufacturing workers. Milwaukee is the nation's fourth largest metropolitan ex- porter of machinery and equipment. Milwaukee is also one of the world's leaders in the manu- facture of diesel and gasoline engines, electrical controls, outboard motors, tractors and automotive parts. In the pro- cess of building heavy capital equipment, Milwaukee con- sumes more steel than any other city in the nation. The port specializes in the handling of such cargo, which is shipped to ports worldwide. Regularly scheduled sailings are available to all major international ports. There are ap- proximately 200 overseas sailings annually, representing some 20 national flags. 5 WAREHOUSE SPACE: MILWAUKEE COMMERCIAL WATERFRONT TERMINALS Nearly 300,000 sq. ft. covered and 1,000,000 sq. ft. open in public port.

A dredged channel, 300 to 500 feet wide, maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers, extends more than 11 miles into the central city. Total tonnage for 1977 at the port was 2,497,943, an in- crease over both previous years. The majority of tonnage handled at Green Bay is in receipt of Great Lakes shipments of bulk commodities such as coal, cement, petroleum prod- ucts, woodpulp, salt and stone, Of the 264 commercial ships that called at the port in 1977, however, 36 were U.S. and foreign overseas flag vessels. Most ofthese carried export shipments to major markets in Western Europe, Africa and South America. General cargo tonnage has also increased in recent years. The port serves a hinterland of eleven states, extending west to the Rocky Mountains. The city is strategi- cally located in one of the major manufacturing regions of the state, the Fox River Valley. known for the production of paper, paper products, paper making machinery and equip- ment. Much of the woodpulp from Canada used in the man- ufacture of paper is received here. Brown County has grown rapidly in the past 30 years; population increased 27% during the period 1950-60, and again from 1960-70. In addition to the paper industry, met- alworking, printing and food processing are the major manu- facturing activities in the county. The population of the city of Green Bay in 1978 is estimated at 89,289. The port offers storage facilities for refrigerated goods, liquid and dry bulk cargoes, as well as general cargo ware- housing. Mobile cranes and a 100-ton capacity derrick are available. All general cargo shipments are handled by Leicht Trans- fer & Storage Co. at their North Dock which is parallel to the channel and open at either end. The dock can easily ac- commodate the largest ships that travel the Great Lakes. 8 WAREHOUSESPACE: Green Bay, Wl 54304, (414) 435-7581 1,200,000 sq. ft. closed: 1,488,000 cu. ft. reefer 25 acres open.
