Port of Amory
Overview
The Port of Amory is a strategic inland port located on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in northeastern Mississippi, near the Alabama border. Serving as a critical regional logistics hub, the port features more than one mile of frontage along the eastern side of the waterway. It is directly connected to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) main line via a dedicated rail spur, which enhances its capability to handle various types of bulk and general cargo, such as steel, grain, lumber, and more. The port’s public terminal includes substantial infrastructure: an 800-foot bulkhead barge berthing area, multiple storage domes, open storage space, and a bridge crane, making it suitable for barge transloading, fleeting, and mooring operations. With nearby road access to US-278 and US-45, and additional acreage available for future development, the Port of Amory plays a significant role in supporting regional manufacturing, trade, and agricultural industries. This strategic location fosters economic growth in Monroe County and the broader North Mississippi area.
