The New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB) and Gulf Gateway Terminal LLC (GGT) announced Monday that they will soon have expanded storage capacity and improved efficiencies to move liquid bulk.
GGT is a liquid cargo storage and distribution facility located on more than 40 acres at the Port of New Orleans with access to all six national railroads via the NOPB. This connectivity allows GGT to significantly increase product storage before it is loaded to rail cars and moved to every North American rail destination.
“This expansion will allow us to better serve our customers and move more freight through the U.S. and into Canada as well as Mexico,” says NOPB General Manager Tomeka Watson Bryant.
The recent expansion at GGT will double liquid bulk storage capacity with the addition of a new storage tank.
“GGT will now be able to store 260,000 barrels of liquid product and we plan to add an additional tank a year to our operations for the next 10 years,” says Brent Robertson, Gulf Gateway Terminal LLC site manager.
