Overview
The deep-water Port of Greater Baton Rouge is situated at the convergence of the Mississippi River (part of the Inland Waterways System) and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, which links major Gulf ports between north Florida and south Texas.
This strategic location provides ready access to the nation's heartland via nearly 15,000 miles of inland water transportation, as well as to the Gulf of Mexico and ocean trade lanes to and from Latin America and the rest of the world.
A 45-foot deep channel is maintained from the port to the Gulf by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
