Mississippi County Port Authority is located in southeastern Missouri, near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, making it a strategic hub for river-oriented commerce and industry. The port sits at one of the northernmost ice-free points on the Mississippi River, ensuring year-round navigation and uninterrupted access for barge operators. With its proximity to major river junctions and overnight truck delivery radius to half the U.S. population, the port plays a significant role in facilitating efficient transportation and logistics. Operated by the Mississippi County Port Authority since 1979, it provides key services such as barge fleeting, harbor tug assistance, marine repair, and midstream fueling. The site boasts more than 1,900 feet of river frontage and is fortified by a front-line levee system, while offering 200 acres of developable land for industrial growth. Additionally, the port operates the Dorena-Hickman Toll Ferry, serving both vehicles and freight, and is equipped with essential utilities and 24-hour dispatch, supporting its role as a vital transfer point for agricultural and industrial products.
