Port of Iberia

The Port of Iberia is a 2,000-acre industrial and manufacturing complex located in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, strategically positioned along the Gulf Coast between Houston and New Orleans. As a hub for over 100 companies, it serves diverse industries with a particular emphasis on oil and gas fabrication, offshore production, and marine services. The port offers direct access to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Commercial Canal, with additional connectivity to the Mississippi River through Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Its infrastructure includes water, rail, and four-lane highway access, further complemented by proximity to an 8,000-foot fully instrumented general aviation airport. The Port of Iberia operates as a key economic engine for the region, supporting thousands of jobs and generating over a billion dollars in annual economic impact. Its intermodal capabilities, skilled workforce, and business incentives position it as a significant player in the industrial and maritime sectors. Recent expansions—such as bulk heading and dredging—enhance its ability to accommodate large-scale fabrication projects and increasing cargo traffic.
