Caddo-Bossier Port Commission

The Port of Caddo-Bossier, governed by the Caddo-Bossier Port Commission, is one of Louisiana's most significant inland multi-modal transportation centers. Strategically located at the head of navigation on the Red River Waterway in Shreveport, Louisiana, the port serves as a critical link between river, rail, and road systems. Its prime position connects regional industries to both national and international markets, enabling efficient movement of raw materials and finished goods. Spanning approximately 5,000 acres, the port continues to expand its footprint and capabilities as demand dictates. The site features direct access to I-20 and I-49, major interstate corridors that enhance logistics for manufacturers, shippers, and distributors. Through its connection to the Red River, the port enables barge transport to the Mississippi River and, ultimately, to the Gulf of Mexico. This inland waterway access is complemented by on-site railway facilities with daily switching, boosting the port's capacity to handle bulk cargo, agribusiness products, industrial goods, and general cargo. The port plays a vital economic role in the Shreveport-Bossier metropolitan area, supporting regional employment and attracting global investment. Its integration of river, rail, and highway infrastructure enables the port to act as a transportation and distribution hub for northwestern Louisiana and the greater south-central United States.
