NOPB, Heniff celebrate US$3 million New Orleans Transloading Industrial Park

Heniff Transportation Systems (Heniff) will manage rail transloading services at the newly opened New Orleans Transloading Industrial Park, after the signing of the agreement with the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB).

New Orleans Transloading Industrial Park is located on Terminal Road in New Orleans East and is expected to help shippers move goods more easily between trucks and trains.

“We’re excited to welcome Heniff as a new NOPB customer at our Transloading Industrial Park in New Orleans East,” said Port NOLA Acting President & CEO and Acting NOPB CEO, Ronald Wendel. “Together we will ensure products are moved more efficiently through the global supply chain while also driving economic growth in and beyond this region.”

The property, which is owned by the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA), will offer Heniff the opportunity to provide multi-modal shipping options for liquid and dry bulk products to existing customers while simultaneously opening new markets.

“The enhanced rail infrastructure and its strategic location offers our company a true competitive edge and service enhancements for our many customers,” commented Bob Heniff, founder & CEO of Heniff Transportation Systems, whose transload network includes 44 locations across North America.

The total project cost for the facility was US$3 million with funding sources including a US$1.5 million grant from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) Shortline Railroad Priority Program as well as a US$1.5 million funding match from NOPB.
