The Ohio River accounts for over one-third of the maritime cargo moving inland in the United States each year (approximately 275 million tons) and by comparison handles more cargo per year than the Panama Canal. When combined with the adjacent 10-county Port of Pittsburgh's system, Columbiana County would constitute the 17th largest Port in the United States and the largest inland port in the United States.
