Nola to consolidate position as a trimodal hub
The US port of New Orleans (Port Nola) has signed a new ten-year lease arrangement with Kearney Companies, a subsidiary of Precision Terminal Logistics (PTL). As part of the new lease, Kearney will make capital investments through Port Nola-approved facility upfits and improvements.
The new lease strengthens the port’s position as a trimodal hub for river, rail, and road transport and also benefits the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB).
The shortline started operations in February 2024 and serves the port and local industries. It provides rail service to its facilities and connection to all six US Class 1 Railroads. The leased facilities include four rail-served transit sheds and a rail-served storage facility. (ben)
