Gulf of Mexico Port Potentials

Gulf of Mexico Port Potentials

Port Bienville (Hancock County), Mississippi

For international engineering firm HNTB, Randall Gross recently determined the market potentials for expansion of an existing port on the Gulf of Mexico. He examined niche freight opportunities and forecasting tonnage, which HNTB will translate into facility requirements. He also recommended economic development and marketing strategies to maximise port potential. Unfortunately, Port Bienville was destroyed not long after by Hurricane Katrina, whose eye passed over Hancock County.
