Ports of Indiana, CBG distribute record road salt volume

The Ports of Indiana–Jeffersonville and logistics company CGB Enterprises distributed more than 1,400 truckloads of road salt in response to the snowfall across the greater Louisville area last week.

Equivalent to 19 fully loaded barges, the volume broke CGB’s weekly and monthly salt distribution records, port officials said in a press release. CGB personnel worked overtime to distribute the salt to local transportation departments and private contractors on both sides of the Ohio River.

“The Ports of Indiana and CGB teams put in long hours to clear the port roads and keep the salt supply chain moving,” said George Ott, port director at Ports of Indiana-Jeffersonville in a port-issued press release.
