Jefferson Riverport International, commonly referred to as Riverport, is a major industrial and port complex situated on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky. Established in the mid-1970s, it has become one of the most significant inland port facilities in the region, facilitating operations for numerous companies involved in manufacturing, warehousing, and international distribution. Notably, Riverport offers direct access to three single-line haul railroads—CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Paducah & Louisville—making it one of the few inland port industrial parks with this level of connectivity. The site features a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ #29), allowing for customs clearance and international trade within the facility itself. Operations at Jefferson Riverport support the movement of a wide variety of cargo, including hazardous materials, packaged goods, and raw materials for manufacturing. The port’s infrastructure and proximity to major highways and rail make it a critical logistics hub for the region, contributing significantly to job creation and economic activity in the state. With an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) score ranking among the highest globally for industrial parks, Jefferson Riverport maintains strong standards in sustainable operation and community impact.
