We have taken a site with great bones and repurposed it into a working, world-class, multi-modal terminal with fully operating docks, working buildings and rail access at the site for the first time in half a century.

Adam Anderson, CEO of T. Parker Host, in early October announcing the grand opening of the former Avondale Shipyards as Avondale Global Gateway, a logistics hub for intermodal commerce.
Our future must be greener, more resilient, more inclusive, and most importantly, our future must meet the needs of tomorrow. So here we are at a defining moment.

Louisiana’s future rests in competing in a global market, so we must invest in a trade-based economy. We must invest in transformational projects.
