Chalmette
A 216-acre industrial park with tour boat landing, deep draft midstream mooring and barge fleeting facility.
Meraux
Midstream mooring buoys spanning 1,300 linear feet can accommodate up to a Capesize oceangoing vessel.
Violet
72-acre terminal with five ship berths that can accommodate ships from 30 to 800 feet.
The Port’s Industrial Business Park
The Industrial Business Park is located one mile downriver from the Arabi Terminal. It encompasses 216 acres of land and more than 1.8 million square feet of building space, with intermodal facility access via truck, rail, and ship. Collectively, the Port’s fifty occupied lease areas provide citizens with over 800 direct, full-time jobs.
