    Overview

    The Alabama State Port Authority operates the Port of Mobile, Alabama’s only deep-water seaport and a major international gateway on the Gulf Coast. Strategically located at the confluence of two major interstate highways and five Class I railroads, the port has become a vital multimodal logistics hub, serving diverse cargo streams including containers, breakbulk, bulk, refrigerated, and Ro/Ro cargoes. The Port of Mobile is continuously expanding both its infrastructure and service capabilities, with more than $1.3 billion invested in upgrades since 2001 and over $750 million in new capacity and modernization projects underway. Its facilities are designed to handle the world’s largest vessels, providing efficient access to global trade routes for exporters and importers throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Recognized for its reliability, efficiency, and strong connectivity to inland markets via 15,000 miles of inland waterways, the port has experienced robust growth with minimal disruption, cementing its role as a backbone for both regional and national supply chains.
