The Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville is one of the fastest growing ports on the
Inland Waterway System. This intermodal transportation gateway is located on the northern bank of the
Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Ind., directly across the river from Louisville, Ky. This location is
within a one-day drive of more than two-thirds of the U.S. market and is adjacent to the "automotive
and appliance alley."
The newest of Indiana's three ports, the Jeffersonville port began operations in 1985 and quickly established a convenient network of traffic routes and onsite services that offer companies a number of competitive advantages.
The port also offers:
- 12-month ocean access to world markets via the Inland Waterway System to the Gulf of Mexico;
- 1,000 acres with approximately 26 tenants;
- Foreign Trade Zone classification;
- Service for a wide variety of commodities and general cargo products such as corn, soybeans, fertilizer, plastics, paper, iron and steel;
- Onsite storage of approximately 1.6 million bushels of grain with a throughput rate of 30,000 bushels per hour; and
- 3,200 linear feet of riverfront access.
