Every year, over half of the 7,000 deep-draft vessels entering the Mississippi River call at the Port, making it the top-ranked port in the United States in both export and total tonnage.
The Gulf of Mexico makes it possible for shippers to enter the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via the Caribbean Sea and the Panama Canal. Ships enter the Mississippi River each year from markets around the world.
Twenty miles of the Port's fifty two mile stretch of the Mississippi River is located in St. John Parish.
