Plaquemines Port in Louisiana to develop new container terminal

Plaquemines Port Harbour and Terminal District (PPHTD) and several potential partners have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to develop a multi-modal container terminal in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, potentially boosting containerisation options for US Midwest shippers.

The LOI signing kicks off a six month due diligence period during which the parties will conduct multiple studies prior to making a final investment decision.

The proposed environmentally friendly container terminal will be powered by a combination of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and electricity.
