Why teams pick Venice
First port from the Gulf
We are the first port on the Mississippi River from the Gulf of Mexico. Vessels reach us before any other facility upriver.
No height restrictions
From Venice south to the Gulf, there are no height restrictions on the river. Ideal for large vessel construction and movement.
Flexible parcels
Parcels from small to very large, with the ability to subdivide. We shape the land to the project, not the other way around.
Deep water
Approximately 50 ft depth in the river and 15 to 35 ft on-site. Ask us for the depth at a specific site.
Hurricane-resilient
Sites have been progressively elevated. Demonstrated resilience through repeated weather events.
Competitive rates
Lease rates are intentionally competitive against other river ports. Month-to-month up to 30-year terms.
