Their 10-story marine tower by the Manitowoc River. It is connected to their plant by a 3-block long underground tunnel.
Looking across the river at the marine tower (on the left) with the silos and plant in the background.
Here is a 3/4 view of the tower with the
SS Badger at the
ferry dock. A little below halfway up on the river side of the tower is the hopper into which the a self-unloading conveyor dumps the grain. The size of the tower is overkill because it would have been built with a marine leg instead of an unloading hopper.

Connor Siemers posted, but I could not convince Facebook to give me the link Manitowoc, WI will be receiving a 650 foot Equinox class freighter to deliver grain to Briess Malt. (Photo Credit: MarineLog) |
C&NW used to have a railyard between the elevator and the lake to service their ferry dock. The ferry now does vehicle traffic instead of freight cars. Canadian National now owns the C&NW and SOO assets that are left in this town.

This article includes Briess Malting in a list of products that are shipped from the town, but I don't see where and how they would load barges or boats.

1 of 6 drone photos posted by Nathan Tienor of the ship unloading. Algoma Intrepid |
There were several postings of the Algoma Intrepid unloading in this Facebook group. I include this one because all five photos focus on the two tugboats that helped dock the ship.

1 of 5 photos posted by Tim Keefe Tugs William C Gaynor and Donald J Sarter gave an assist to the Algoma Intrepid at Manitowoc, WI, today, 4/28/22. |
I picked this screenshot because on the right near the water level you can see some propwash from the bow thruster. At first, it struck me as a short burst. But then I remembered that this was a time-lapse video. I guess the pilot of the ship thought the tug was pushing it toward the dock a little too quickly. The video starts with the ship entering the river.

1 of 14 photos posted by Nathan Tienor with the comment: "Saginaw." |
I gather from a comment that this is the first time that
Saginaw has appeared in Manitowoc. The first time visit by a classic freighter would explain why there were so many photos of it:
12 photos;
7 photos;
3 photos
And some modern freighters are also unloading at the malt house.
