The Paducah-McCracken County Riverport is undergoing a revitalization, increasing its throughput, landing new projects and seeking to expand its bulk product-handling capacity. Executive director Tim Cahill said the port, located from Tennessee River Mile 1.3 to 2.0, has seen greater freight volumes each of die past diree years and increased its throughput from 490,000 tons to 660,000 tons of freight moved year over year from 2020 to 2021. "We came up with some creative ways to do it," Cahill said of handling die additional tonnage for existing port tenants. Strategies have included splitting work shifts to have two of the ports eight employees come in early and two to stay late to make the most use of time and equipment. |
