A key Mississippi River sea port is sporting a new name!

Happy Wednesday!     

Did anyone happen to read the gCaptain Daily Newsletter on March 19, 2025, their article titled, “Louisiana’s Plaquemines Port Rebrands as Gateway Port Amid Major Container Terminal Expansion”?  In the article, it spoke on how a Louisiana port near the Gulf of America (Mexico) and on the Mississippi River has changed their name to Louisiana Gateway Port!  Louisiana Gateway Port or what was formerly known as the Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District is making the shift as part of their growth strategy with their partner APM Terminals.  APM Terminals is A.P. Moller-Maersk division which is in charge moving and storing various types of cargo at the terminal.   APM Terminals will be modernizing their terminal on the west bank of the river, and they will spend $500 million, so they will be able to handle larger vessels.  This planned expansion fits into the plans of Louisiana Gateway Port as the capitalize on their 50 feet depth and the larger ships coming to America.  We wish Louisiana Gateway Port and their partners luck in their expansion!  If you would like to read more of the gCaptain’s article, please click the link:   Louisiana's Plaquemines Port Rebrands as Gateway Port Amid Major Container Terminal Expansion.
