    Overview

    The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is one of the largest, most inland river ports in the United States, strategically located in Northeast Oklahoma at the head of navigation for the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. Opened in 1971, it has established itself as a critical economic engine for the region, facilitating the movement of manufactured goods and agricultural commodities to global markets. With seamless integration of barge, rail, and truck transportation, the port supports robust supply chain operations, hosting over 70 companies within its expansive 2,000-acre industrial park. Designated as a foreign trade zone, the port allows businesses to operate with substantial logistical and customs advantages. It handles more than 2.7 million tons of cargo annually, including petroleum products, building materials, and machinery. The port's multimodal capabilities are enhanced by on-site access to major railroads—BNSF and South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad—and proximity to major highways and Tulsa International Airport. This access allows shippers efficient outbound and inbound freight operations, driving private investment, job creation, and regional competitiveness in domestic and international trade.
