===Inland port=== {{main|Inland port}} [[File:Milan-Porta Genova-Main walk of the Dàrsena.jpg|thumb|The {{Interlanguage link|Darsena, Milan|it|Darsena (Milano)}}, Italy, the inland port of the city]] An '''inland port''' is a port on a navigable lake, river ([[fluvial]] port), or canal with access to a sea or ocean, which therefore allows a ship to sail from the ocean inland to the port to load or unload its cargo. An example of this is the [[St. Lawrence Seaway]] which allows ships to travel from the Atlantic Ocean several thousand kilometers inland to Great Lakes ports like [[Toronto]], [[Duluth-Superior]], and [[Chicago]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/|title=Seaway System|work=greatlakes-seaway.com}}</ref> The term ''inland port'' is also used for [[dry port]]s.
