Saginaw River Docks - Bit-Mat Dock

Directly across the river from the Essroc and Lafarge docks in Essexville is the Bit-Mat dock, which sets in Bangor Township. A subsidiary of British Petroleum, the Bit-Mat dock is a liquid asphalt facility. Serviced primarily by tug/barge units form Andrie, the offloading pipe is located at the mouth of the Bay Aggregates slip. Occasionally, there is some shifting around if a freighter has to enter or exit the Bay Agg. slip.


Last season, there were only 3 deliveries to the dock as compared to 10 and 16 in the years prior.

Note the silver offloading pipeling running the length of the dock
