The port of Dolomite

The port is one of the busiest fresh water ports built around the Great Lakes. It is located in Clark Township, Mackinac County, Michigan. The port is strategically built just at the point where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. Coincidentally, the two lakes divide the State of Michigan into two. The port offers the narrowest crossing point between the two sides of Michigan, divided by Lakes Huron and Michigan. The port, however, sides more to Lake Huron in comparison to Lake Michigan.

Lake Huron

The lake is the second largest Great Lake by surface area and the fifth largest freshwater lake in the world. It has an average depth of 195 feet that maintains the dip up to the shorelines. The port of Dolomite, too, enjoys the deep waters on its harbor, which makes it advantageous in its role of shipping cars to or from port of Dolomite. Cars are heavy tonnage cargo that require deep enough waters for efficient transportation by sea freight. The deep waters offer enough draft depth for vehicles to be shipped through Ro-Ro and containerized modes of shipping. Containerized car shipping is more weighty thanks to the extra tons the cargo containers add to the entire cargo. The port of Dolomite is conducive for offering car shipping services through Ro-Ro mode as the harbor depth is deep enough to facilitate that.

Strategic Position

The port of Dolomite is strategically positioned to offer car shipping services between Michigan, northwestern Wisconsin, and landlocked states surrounding the two states to Southern Canada. The trade numbers handled by the Port of Dolomite, both domestic and foreign, place the port at position 92 among major ports in America handling the highest numbers in short tons.

Domestically, the port of Dolomite offers an alternative means of transport for shipping heavy tonnage cargo like vehicles. This is thanks to the fully joined lakes of Michigan, Huron, and Superior. Shipping vehicles through sea is always a cheaper option as water transport offers cost-sharing options where several vehicles are shipped in one trip by one vessel. This makes shipping cars to or from port of Dolomite quite affordable and we at A1 Auto transport can help you reap these benefits as well. Talk to us today!

“A1 Auto Transport lives up to its name. Its price is competitive and reasonable compared to other transport services. Saving money equals saving time and less worries. I will not compromise a few dollars just to risk the chances of getting scratches on my favourite Hyundai Tucson. A1 got it to Michigan safely, and that’s all I could ask for. Kudos to everyone reading this!”

“A1 Auto Transport is a company that moves cars, motorcycle, and even boats across the country, as well as internationally. They’re very professional, polite, and have a ton of experience. Moving my Honda to Michigan proved to be a breeze. I was worried I’d be delayed due to the weather, but winter doesn’t seem to hinder A1. They probably take it into account, as both the pickup and the arrival time window were respected. There were no delays, and worries about using an open carrier were for nothing. I chose the cheaper option to transport my car, but the service was just as good. I’d do it again. I highly recommend this company. If you have to more a car, they’re the best there is.”

I highly recommend this company

“Actually received a call from the driver about an hour after I sent the message and the car was delivered that night. The service and speed I received was unbelievable! To place an order on Saturday and receive my car on Tuesday from Arkansas to Michigan is just awesome. Best shipping I have experienced and I have shipped a few cars in the past. Thanks a bunch, K. Wesley Lehman, Bertram, Wesley, Inc.”

“I am meticulous when it comes to everything. At first, I was thinking of just driving all the way to Illinois from New Jersey. A friend recommended me to go to A1 Auto Transport and told me a lot of good things about them. I refused initially because I had filed a 4 day leave just to drive and visit my mother. But things did not go well. My boss asked me to cancel my leave because a very important client asked for an urgent meeting, and the manager could not attend to it. I was hopeless and took the risk of asking help from A1. The notice was short and I forgot I needed to inform them in advance. After a couple of hours, I received a call and they told me they found a way to book me with no extra fees. I am so thankful I got to attend to my work matters. I did not get to see my mother, but the vehicle and items inside it were in perfect condition as if it was me who took care of it. I owe you guys big time! I got one huge deal from our client.”

“A1 Auto Transport sure knows how to give a red carpet experience. Joe was proactive and always available. The company I used before couldn’t get me scheduled even after a week. Joe did it in a few minutes. Ordering was a breeze, and the driver was good. He was on time for the pickup, but the delivery was a day late. The weather slowed him down a lot, but I’m just glad it arrived in Rhode Island intact. Overall, the experience was worth recommending to others. The car was as I sent it, and I’m a very happy customer.”
