The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) and the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB) reported that intermodal rail volume climbed 15% from January through May compared with volume during the same 2023 period.
Rail represents 33% of the port's and NOPB’s consolidated annual revenue, Port NOLA officials said in a news release.
Port NOLA’s Mississippi River Intermodal Terminal, located within the Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal complex, offers on-dock access to the port’s six Class I partners via the NOPB.
CN offers regular intermodal service to and from Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto and Montreal.
Last month, the Port of New Orleans also announced record container growth. Port NOLA moved a total of 133,845 20-foot equivalent units during the third quarter of fiscal-year 2024, representing a 19% year-over-year increase and a record quarter, with container volume not seen since the supply-chain issues of 2021, port officials said.
