Port of Kansas City

The Port of Kansas City is a major inland port strategically located at the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas Rivers, serving as a vital hub for multimodal logistics in the Midwest. As one of the largest storage and distribution centers along the Missouri River, the port not only supports local and regional economies, but also connects businesses to extensive national and international networks. Kansas City’s position as a top rail and trucking hub in the United States allows for efficient transfers between barge, rail, and road, making it crucial for the movement of bulk goods such as grain, steel, fertilizer, and petroleum coke. With close proximity to significant highways and interstates, along with direct rail connections via Union Pacific, the port offers excellent accessibility for shippers. The facility is an essential node in America’s supply chain infrastructure, supporting a broad market within a 200-mile radius and providing opportunities for continued industrial development. Its capacity for intermodal operations and its pivotal location enhance Kansas City’s standing as a central player in the nation’s commerce and transportation network.
