The 2,000 acre Port of Shreveport-Bossier is located at the head of navigation on the Red River Waterway in Northwest Louisiana, about four miles south of the City of Shreveport. An inland multimodal transportation and distribution center, the Port links customers throughout the Ark-La-Tex region to domestic and international markets via the Mississippi River, the nation's largest river system, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.

The Commission's mission is to: maximize utilization of Port of Shreveport-Bossier resources to generate economic development in Caddo and Bossier Parishes, expand use and development of the area's multi-modal transportation and distribution system, and increase commerce through the Port.

A strategic location, a superior network of interstate highway, rail, water and air and the backing of its citizens have made the Port of Shreveport-Bossier one of the fastest growing inland ports in America.
