Inland Ports
Expanding Alabama’s Reach: River and Rail Ports as Strategic Hubs
The Port of Mobile’s impact extends far beyond the coast, thanks to a network of strategically positioned inland river and rail ports. These regional hubs serve as vital feeder and distribution nodes, driving export growth throughout Alabama. By linking local economies to global markets, these ports provide seamless first- and last-mile connectivity for freight, enabling smooth transitions between land, river, and rail transport. From grain-exporting hubs like Demopolis to industrial access points in Cordova and Bridgeport, each inland river port supports key industries while channeling goods toward the Port of Mobile.
Additionally, our rail ports, such as the Mobile and Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facilities, act as critical intermodal connectors, ensuring efficient inland transfers of containerized cargo. Together, these ports create a unified, multimodal logistics network under the Alabama Port Authority umbrella, advancing regional economic development and fueling growth across the state. Explore how our inland and rail ports can enhance your logistics and connect you to Alabama’s booming economy.
