Parcels

Development of a 170.5-acre site under a 30-year lease from the Port, with the possibility to expand up to 900 acres. Louisiana Gateway Container Terminal (LGCT) will be located on the West Bank at mile marker 51 AHP. This location provides the first gateway access to the Mississippi River System and the advantage of keeping rail container traffic on the river’s West Bank. This provides an efficient connection to capture U.S. West Coast (USWC) market share to the Dallas Inland Port. The terminal design includes 3 berths with 6 ship-to-shore (STS) cranes, an intermodal rail yard, and an effective terminal capacity of up to 1.0 million TEUs annually for Phase 1.

The Port has acquired more than 50 percent of the footprint required for port development. According to the Plaquemines Parish Assessor, Parcels 1, 2, and 3, which comprise 2,146 acres, are now owned by the Port; these include 31 parcels that correspond to the Piano Keys I, most of which will become part of Parcel 3, shown in bright green.
