Your Full-Port Intermodal Facility Serving Local, National, and International Industry
The general cargo handling area includes a cargo dock with 42,000 sq. ft. of open dock space and a 125-ton electric-pedestal crane capable of handling commodities from barge, truck, or rail. The crane capacity and design configuration provides excellent heavy-lift capacity, with the terminal noted for this service. Commodities currently handled by the crane include wire rod coils, fertilizer, aluminum fluoride, zinc, and specialty lumber. The primary dock area includes an adjacent heated warehouse currently utilized for storage of numerous commodities.
A new dock immediately upstream from the cargo dock was opened in 2006 and is utilized for loading steel scrap to barge, a very active business for the terminal. The design and location of this new dock offers the opportunity for a second general cargo facility in the future. The terminal operating area also has two other potential barge positions. Upstream from the new dock is a coal loading conveyor system with the capability to receive coal by truck or rail, with conveyor loading to barge. Downstream from the general cargo dock is a grain loading conveyor system with the capability to load grain to barge from storage, rail, or truck.
In addition to the warehouse located adjacent to the general cargo handling area, the port owns three additional smaller warehouses which are currently leased for commodity storage. The total warehouse space at the port is 60,000 sq. ft. During 2006, the port developed a fertilizer distribution facility which includes two 135-foot-diameter storage domes, conveyors, rail dump pit, operating areas, and access roads for connection to the general cargo dock.
The total storage capacity for this facility is 22,000 tons. In the vicinity of the general cargo dock, the port owns an aluminum fluoride storage and handling facility with a capacity of 3,000 tons. Grain storage with a capacity of 50,000 bushels is connected to the grain barge loading system, located downstream from the general cargo dock. In addition, the port owns a 1000 HP tow boat, the “Can-Do,” which is available at the terminal area for prompt handling of barges. The port also owns an array of forks, buckets, and specialty handling accessories. Equipment at the port appears to be ample for handling of bulk and general cargo commodities currently moving through the facilities.
