    Overview

    Port of Greenville, located on the Mississippi River in west-central Mississippi, is the state’s largest river port and a pivotal multimodal transportation hub for the region. The port serves as a crucial gateway to both national and international markets, facilitating efficient access by barge, truck, and rail. Handling over 5 million tons of cargo annually, the port plays a vital role in the movement of agricultural products such as corn, soybeans, rice, milo, as well as petroleum products, chemicals, steel, scrap metal, and wood products. Boasting more than 3.9 miles of waterfront on 2,000 acres, a 400-foot dock with five-barge capacity, and advanced cranes capable of heavy lifts and all-weather operation, the port supports rapid and reliable cargo transloading. With its location near major highways and rail connections, the Port of Greenville underpins economic activity for a tri-state region, supporting manufacturing, agriculture, and energy sectors while directly contributing to local and regional economic growth. As a full-service port with climate-controlled storage and expansive outside storage, it is particularly significant for bulk and project cargo operations.
