摘要：	Recently released freight tonnage data shows a statistical port approved last summer on the Ohio River now has the highest freight volume by tonnage of any inland port in the United States. The Mid-Ohio Valley Port district encompasses nearly 220 miles of the Ohio River between Mile 40.0 and Mile 256.8, filling in a gap between the Huntington Tri-State Port District and the Pittsburgh Port District. It includes parts of seven counties in Ohio and nine counties in West Virginia. The port has no physical assets, instead aggregating freight data the Corps of Engineers was already collecting from bills of lading and information collected at locks and dams, along with other sources. The statistical port district includes 70 existing barge terminals in Ohio and 53 in West Virginia. The port districts application for port designation was sponsored by the Ohio Department of Transportation in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Transportation. Although not fully approved by Corps leadership until June 2021, the application was a multi-year process, with data collection beginning much more quickly, so the port was included in the 2020 data that was recently released.
