The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has handled a total of 133,845 <\/p>\n

TEU during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Port<\/p>\n

This indicates a 19 per cent year-over-year (YoY) rise and a record quarter <\/p>\n

with container volume not seen since the supply chain challenges in 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As containerised import volumes continue to steadily climb, throughput <\/p>\n

efficiency (the number of containers that pass through Port NOLA in a given <\/p>\n

timeframe) also continues to be high.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Port NOLA President and CEO and New Orleans Public Belt (NOPB) CEO, Brandy <\/p>\n

D. Christian, said: \u201cThis record growth is a direct result of our innovative <\/p>\n

logistic solutions during supply chain disruptions as shippers focus on <\/p>\n

diversifying their trade lanes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategic alignment with the NOPB makes New Orleans the only U.S. city <\/p>\n

where deep-draft shipping coincides directly with a rail gateway that serves six <\/p>\n

major Class 1 railroads.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Port NOLA reported that in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, loaded <\/p>\n

imports increased by 19 per cent, while loaded exports increased by 16 per cent <\/p>\n

YoY.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coffee, primarily from South America and Southeast Asia, various chemicals <\/p>\n

from Mexico and North Europe, and Asian and South American lumber products such <\/p>\n

as plywood are among the most common imports at Port NOLA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plastics like PVC are major export commodities, notably in Asia, as are <\/p>\n

other chemical products in North Europe and paper in Central America. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, there were 100 vessel calls this quarter, a 5 per cent increase <\/p>\n

from the same period last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Port NOLA Chief Commercial Officer, Amanda Coates, stated: \u201cThis upward <\/p>\n

trend is very encouraging and consistent with higher reliability in our weekly <\/p>\n

ocean carrier services. It also translates into more steady volumes from month <\/p>\n

to month than those from previous quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last month, Port NOLA marked 20,500 container moves by barge during 2023, <\/p>\n

the highest since starting the service in 2016 with the Port of Greater Baton <\/p>\n

Rouge and Ingram Marine Group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
