The Port of Detroit is known to be the largest seaport in the state of Michigan because of its 80 acres of land area and it has different terminals in Detroit, River Rouge, and Ecorse. Some of the marine terminals in this port belong to the private sector in which they have the authority to operate and manage it according to their terms. Moreover, this port is considered the third-largest steel-handling port in the nation consisting of multiple marine terminals that handle general, liquid, bulk cargo, and passengers. This port is supervised by the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority that is composed of five boards of directors appointed by the State of Michigan, Wayne County, and the City of Detroit. The operational funding and the day-to-day operations were being handled by these authorities, especially the executive director. Environmental programs, assisting applications about federal grants, facilitating capital improvements are just some of the activities that need to be managed in this port. Given these things, the authorities in this port need to oversee the 29 public and private sector’s millions of tons of cargo. Some of the commodities that are being shipped in this port are high-grade steel products, coal, iron ore, cement, aggregate, and other road-building commodities that are products both for domestic and international shipping. In terms of economic impact, the port has provided 16, 000 jobs in Michigan that opened a half-billion of direct revenue and $288 million in State and Federal tax revenue. Post Internship Program is also acknowledged in this port for the students to be more assisted in expanding their knowledge in the business development process of a nonprofit authority.

AVAILABLE CONTAINERS IN Detroit, Michigan
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR CONTAINER ARRIVES
FEATURED
After six years, a restaurant constructed of shipping containers is still operational.
Nowadays, restaurants that are made from shipping containers are popping up all over the place. But this new trend wasn’t the norm in 2016 when a popular eatery in Detroit opened for business and is still going strong today.
Detroit’s first shipping container restaurant and bar, called The Fountain, opened in Campus Martius Park in 2016. This 40-foot-long soothing blue-colored steel shipping container restaurant is constructed from a 40-foot-long container with minimal modifications including shelving, exhaust system, and a little more. Just enough to get the business going with limited start-up funds. Click here to learn more about this project.

Used Shipping Containers Repurposed for Condos in Detroit, MI
Containers are being used and repurposed in a variety of structures, including restaurants, offices, and shopping malls. It’s also becoming a housing option for people who want to downsize while maintaining sustainability and green living.
In Detroit, a creative architectural company called Three Squared converted these shipping containers into condominiums by providing in-house architectural design and full-service engineering. Their most notable work is Trumbull Squared, a pair of huge shipping container condo units in Corktown, Detroit. The buildings have a contemporary, industrial aesthetic with exposed metal corrugations and an open design.
According to the firm, there are several benefits to cargo container architecture, they include the impact on the environment (reusing and repurposing shipping containers that would have remained unused in a yard), timeliness (it took 6 hours and 15 minutes to install the 9 shipping containers for Trumbull Squared), and the cost for a one-bedroom apartment cost only $140,000 to construct which is much less than traditional house construction.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Shipping your container internationally?
You will need a cargo worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper owned container” is cargo-worthy/seaworthy.
They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping.
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year.
If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made.

Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping Internationally.
