Ship beef supply at the Port of South Louisiana

About the Port of South Louisiana

The Port of South Louisiana covers 54 miles of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Grain elevators and petrochemical plants along the river draw a steady stream of bulk carriers and tankers.

Who orders beef in Port of South Louisiana

Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Tankers and gas carriers on long voyages favor large frozen orders, and crew nationality decides how much halal beef goes on the order. Ship chandlers in Port of South Louisiana can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.

How delivery works

Houston, Galveston, Texas City and Freeport get direct delivery by reefer truck from our Houston-area cold store, with same-day delivery for orders confirmed before our cutoff. The rest of the Gulf Coast, from Brownsville to Port Manatee, is served by reefer truck from Houston. We quote the lead time with every order.

Our reefer truck runs from Houston to Port of South Louisiana with the order sealed and logged. For ships at anchor we hand off to a local launch service.
