Container traffic still depends on decent rail hubs once it reaches port. Frankly Mobile and Houston are better positioned for that given Louisiana's aversion to investing in concrete.

Port of south Louisiana (Baton Rouge to New Orleans) is still a bulk cargo leader and probsbly always will be.

How does Mobile's port rank? Can the OP post the complete list?

Sub topic, but who gets the banana boats these days? I remember Biloxi or Gulfport used to when I was little kid.

Thanks.
