Tulsa Port of Catoosa posts March cargo volumes

The inland river port’s inbound waterborne cargo throughout in March primarily consisted of fertilizer.    Tulsa Port of Catoosa, an inland river port in Oklahoma, handled 187,333 tons of waterborne cargo in March, a slight increase from the 186,951 tons of cargo shipped through the port in February.
   The mild winter resulted in an early spring planting season, increasing demand for fertilizer suppliers. Consequently, over 70 percent of the port’s inbound waterborne cargo in March was fertilizer.
   On the export side, agricultural products remained very strong, with over 50,000 tons of wheat and soybeans shipped from the port during the month.
   Meanwhile, Tulsa Port of Catoosa’s $11 million construction project on its main dock, allowing it to handle more capacity each year, is scheduled to be completed near the end of April.
