The Port of Mobile, is the only deep-water port in the state, and is the 11th lagest in the United States. It is located along the Mobile River where it empties into Mobile Bay. The Port of Mobile has public, deepwater terminals with direct access to 1,500 miles of inland and intracoastal waterways serving the Great Lakes, the Ohio and Tennessee river valleys (via the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway), and the Gulf of Mexico. The Alabama State Port Authority owns and operates the public terminals at the Port of Mobile.

OPENING SUMMER 2008!

Scheduled to open in Summer 2008, Mobile Container Terminal will offer an improved option in the US Gulf for reaching Midwest markets as well as Alabama and neighboring states. A 45’ channel and 2000’ of deepwater berth will ensure MCT is able to handle most post-panamax vessels. There is room available for DC expansion close to the terminal and anear-dock rail facility is part of the overall development plan. Trade in and out of the region is fairly balanced which is unusual in today’s market environment.
