Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville
Executive Summary

The Ports of Indiana was created by state legislation in 1961 and is charged with "promoting the agricultural, industrial and commercial development of the state" through the establishment of port facilities on Indiana's waterways. Indiana has three ports in Burns Harbor, Mount Vernon and Jeffersonville that handle as much as $1.89 billion in cargo shipments per year.

Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville is a gateway to the Midwest. The port's vast transportation network makes it possible for businesses to reach over two-thirds of the U.S. market within a day's drive. In addition to domestic barge service, the port offers international service to Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America via the Ohio-Mississippi rivers' connection to the Gulf of Mexico. Located on the northern bank of the Ohio River, across from Louisville, Ky., the Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville provides competitive advantages to companies that move cargo by water, rail and highway.
