America's largest tonnage port, the Port of South Louisiana is the premier sea gateway for U.S. import and export traffic... Governed by a board of seven Commissioners, The Port of South Louisiana, which stretches 54 miles along the Mississippi River, is the largest tonnage port in the Western Hemisphere and ranks third in the world. It handled over 245 million tons of cargo in 2000, brought to its terminals by vessel, barge, rail, and truck. Over 50,000 barges and 4,000 ocean-going vessels call at the port each year, making it the top ranked port in the country for export tonnage and total tonnage. With exports of 70 million tons of cargo a year (see News & Info for more details) more than any other port in North America the port accounts for 15 percent of total US exports. The port has nine first-rate port-owned facilities, ranging from grain elevators to general cargo and bulk docks. The Port serves primarily as landlord to eight facilities leased to operating companies such as Peavey, Occidental, Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill. The exception is the Globalplex Intermodal Terminal, which the port purchased in 1992 and is currently redeveloping into a world class complex to accommodate a variety of dry bulk and break-bulk cargo.
