Port of Pascagoula

The Port of Pascagoula, situated on the southeastern coast of Mississippi, is a vital deep-water gateway ranked among the nation’s top 25 ports for foreign cargo throughput. Serving as Mississippi's largest port, it handles over 32 million tons of cargo each year—making it a critical hub for the region’s economy and a strategic point of entry for global trade. Its two distinct harbors, Pascagoula River Harbor and Bayou Casotte Harbor, offer a combination of public and private terminals capable of accommodating deep-draft vessels. The port excels in efficient multi-modal connectivity, providing direct access to major highways, railroads, and air transport, which significantly increases its attractiveness for shipping companies and industries across sectors. With its comprehensive cargo handling capacities, modern facilities, and close proximity to deepwater shipping lanes of the Northern Gulf of Mexico, the Port of Pascagoula plays an essential role in bolstering commerce for Mississippi and the entire Gulf Coast region.
