The Port of New Orleans is a significant transport hub located in Louisiana, United States. It serves as an embarkation point for cruise passengers and Louisiana’s sole international container port.[3]
The port generates $100 million in revenue annually through its four lines of business – cargo (46%), rail (31%), cruise (16%), and industrial real estate (7%). As a self-sustaining political subdivision of the State of Louisiana, it receives zero tax dollars.
In 1946, a foreign-trade zone was established in the port.[4][5] The New Orleans FTZ has more individual warehouses and sites under its umbrella than any other U.S. port-administered FTZ.
