I'm sorry, but there doesn't appear to be a well-known marine port specifically named "Port Superior" in the United States. It's possible that you may be referring to a smaller, private, or less internationally prominent location, or there may be a misunderstanding in the name.

However, if you are referring to a major port on Lake Superior such as the Port of Duluth-Superior, I can provide information on that. The Port of Duluth-Superior is a significant port located at the western end of Lake Superior, straddling the cities of Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin.
