The barge-to-rail transloading and storage facility—located on 41.5 industrially zoned acres of Port NOLA-owned property—handles renewable diesel and conventional diesel, as well as additional products depending on customer needs. It can now “significantly increase product storage before it is loaded to railcars and moved to every North American rail destination,” NOPB and Gulf Gateway Terminal (GGT) reported Feb. 17.
“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,” said Brent Robertson, Site Manager for Gulf Gateway Terminal LLC, which is owned by an affiliate of Plano, Tex.-based Murex LLC. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with the NOPB to safely and efficiently move freight through the supply chain.”
“We value our long-standing partnership with Gulf Gateway Terminal as we have worked with them for several years to grow and increase rail volumes through the New Orleans gateway,” said NOPB General Manager Tomeka Watson Bryant, a Railway Age 2022 “Women in Rail” and 2021 “20 Under 40” honoree. “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.”
