No matter how you look at it, the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) is an impressive entity. It encompasses parts of three parishes on the Mississippi River. It's made up of 30 miles of urban waterfront and generates $100 million in revenue annually through its four lines of business - cargo (46%), rail (31%), cruise ships (16%), and industrial real estate (7%). Breakbulk and heavy-lift commodities remain a strong part of the port's cargo mix and focus. Yet, according to port officials, its containerized cargo growth has surpassed 600,000 TEUs annually. Port NOLA can handle vessels up to 10,000 TEUs in size. It currently has six container gantry cranes, with four new 100' gauge gantry cranes under construction, 3,000' of linear berth space able to accommodate vessels with drafts up to 45', and the ability to transload bulk from container to barge. |
