So there's significant trade going on here. More than 100,000 barges and 4,000 ocean-going vessels call annually at the Port of South Louisiana. One Million Tons of Cargo Last spring, the Port of Shreveport-Bossier City handled its 1 millionth ton of cargo. Located in Northwest Louisiana and four days from New Orleans by barge, the port has only been in operation three years. Cargo is being handled at the port in a greater volume than anticipated in just a short period of time.
Cargoes handled by the port include fertilizer, coiled steel, liquid product and coal.
