Detroit–Windsor Truck Ferry

The Detroit–Windsor Truck Ferry was a ferry service that transported trucks across the Detroit River beginning on April 22, 1990. The ferry shut down on September 30, 2023.

The service was split between two companies, Detroit–Windsor Truck Ferry, Incorporated of Detroit and CMT Canadian Maritime Transport, Limited of Windsor.

It accepted only trucks. The ferry was the primary crossing for hazardous materials (HAZMAT) trucks between Windsor and La Salle in Ontario, and Detroit and the Downriver communities in Michigan, although other transport trucks could have used it as an alternative to the bridges. Hazardous materials have been banned from the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit–Windsor Tunnel. The nearest alternative crossing that allows hazardous or radioactive materials is the Bluewater Bridge, which connects Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario.

Similar to all the international crossings in the Detroit–Windsor area, a toll was required, as well as clearance from Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection at both terminals of the ferry route.
