Ports of Indiana

About

The Ports of Indiana is a state-owned port authority that operates three key ports: Burns Harbor, Mount Vernon, and Jeffersonville. Established in 1961, these ports serve as vital multimodal hubs, connecting Indiana's industries to global markets through waterways, highways, and rail networks. The ports provide a range of services, including multimodal connectivity with access to Great Lakes shipping lanes and major rail lines. They specialize in handling bulk commodities such as coal, grain, and steel, and offer facilities for heavy-lift operations. Additionally, the Ports of Indiana leases over 3,000 acres of industrial real estate to companies in manufacturing, logistics, and energy sectors. The organization collaborates with the Army Corps of Engineers to maintain navigable channels for deep-draft vessels, supporting economic growth in the region.
