Yellow Creek State Inland Port (YCP), the uppermost port on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (Tenn-Tom), at the intersection of the Tenn-Tom and the Tennessee River, has announced that Cooper Marine & Timberlands (CMT) is now the port's exclusive provider of barge fleeting and shifting services. The arrangement took effect September 1. "Thanks to the leadership of federal, state and local officials, Yellow Creek Port is on a trajectory of exciting new growth," said YCP Executive Director Robert Dexter. "Tonnage and revenues have grown by double digits in the past few years. Millions in private and public investments have been made in order to expand job opportunities and modernize facilities. Securing CMT as our port's exclusive barge fleeting and shifting service provider is another step forward on our mission of growing and diversifying the port's capabilities to best serve our current and future tenants and to create high-paying and reliable jobs for the state of Mississippi." |
