Louisville Riverport Authority

The Louisville Riverport Authority is a key inland port located on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, serving as a central hub for manufacturing, logistics, and international trade. Established in 1965, the Riverport Authority has driven economic growth for over three decades by leveraging Louisville's strategic location at the intersection of major highways, railroads, and river transportation. Riverport offers direct access to three railroads—Norfolk Southern, CSX, and Paducah & Louisville—and is situated near UPS Worldport, making it a leading choice for companies seeking rapid access to nationwide and global markets. In addition to serving over 100 businesses, the port operates as a Foreign-Trade Zone, providing financial incentives for importers and exporters. Its significant role in supporting industrial development and facilitating efficient goods movement has made it an essential asset for Kentucky’s economy.
