Port of Vicksburg

The Port of Vicksburg, located on the Mississippi River in Warren County, Mississippi, is a vital inland waterway port that plays a significant role in the region’s economy and transportation network. Handling over 3 million tons of inbound and outbound cargo annually, it is ranked among the largest inland ports in the United States by tonnage. As a hub for multimodal logistics, the port directly serves more than 21 industries and supports a workforce of over 4,000 employees. Its strategic location, with direct connections to major highways (US-61 and I-20) and Class I railroads (Kansas City Southern, Canadian National, and Union Pacific), enables efficient movement of goods for both regional and international trade. The designated Foreign Trade Zone status and U.S. Customs Service presence facilitate global commerce. The port manages a diverse range of bulk commodities, including metals, wood products, petrochemicals, agricultural goods, and refined materials. Planned expansions and ongoing infrastructure improvements further enhance its capacity and significance, making it a central economic driver, industrial center, and port of entry for the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.
