Milo Harbour Inc. and the Port of Cleveland have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a truck ferry between Wheatley, Ontario, and Cleveland, Ohio, potentially launching in early 2028. The proposed service could carry up to 300 truckloads daily, with two- to three-hour one-way crossings, reducing reliance on the congested Windsor-Detroit gateway and improving access to highway, rail and European container connections. The project still requires infrastructure, regulatory, customs and border-processing investments. Chatham-Kent officials support its potential economic benefits while seeking more information about effects on local infrastructure and agriculture.
