6 GATEWAY REVIEW 2019 7 Strong economic impact numbers affirm Port NOLA’s strategic vision to drive commerce and realize the potential of the region n 2018, after an in-depth look into its future, the Port of New Orleans launched its strategic master plan. The plan is a roadmap to support the Port’s mission of driving commerce and creating jobs — not just within the Port but throughout the entire region. An economic impact report released in early 2019 affirms that mission and highlights Port NOLA’s position as a powerhouse that sustains the economies of the city, the state of Louisiana and the nation. Commissioned by the Port, the study was conducted by Louisiana State University’s Economics and Policy Research Group and JLL Ports, Airports and Global Infrastructure. The report determined Port NOLA-based activity, including tenant and cruise activity, directly creates 8,880 jobs — including $609 million in income, $1 billion in value-added services and $2.3 billion of economic output. Regionally, throughout Port NOLA’s jurisdiction, Port NOLA activity generates 19,050 jobs and $3.9 billion of economic output annually. Statewide, those numbers increase to 21,700 jobs and $4.3 billion in economic output. Additionally, the average salary of Port NOLA-generated jobs is $74,000, which are family sustaining careers. Nationally, Port NOLA’s impact grows substantially, as Port activity serves as a gateway to global markets for a large swath of the nation’s interior. The report determined Port NOLA supports 119,510 jobs throughout the U.S. economy and is responsible for $29.8 billion of economic output and $1.9 billion in federal tax revenue. “This report validates the importance of Port NOLA not only to Louisiana, but the nation,” said Brandy D. Christian, President and CEO of Port NOLA and the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad. “Our success is fueled by people, and Port NOLA is proud of the work the men and women do in our industry on a daily basis to drive prosperity regionally and nationally.” Port NOLA is a modern multimodal gateway for global trade and is also a thriving embarkation port for cruise passengers. It is also Louisiana’s only international container port.

One important contributor to the sector is the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) and the cruises that draw visitors to the Crescent City.

These travelers are supporting a thriving cruise industry, with direct industry expenditures in the state of Louisiana totaling $432 million, supporting 8,321 jobs and providing $347 million in personal income. When you combine the cruise numbers with the fact that overall tourism and visitor spending have increased across parishes (counties) and the state of Louisiana for the past several years, it is clear that the momentum of the sector is building. Port NOLA anticipates the opening of the new terminal at New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport will also contribute to the ease of cruise passengers traveling to New Orleans to embark on their cruise. “The future is bright for New Orleans tourism. The growing demand for cruising from the Port of New Orleans endorses the draw of our city as an in-demand destination for the entire family,” said Stephen Perry, President and CEO of New Orleans & Company, the city’s destination marketing group. “The positive economic impact of the cruise industry as part of our tourism and hospitality sector brings a host of opportunities for our local residents and regional businesses.”«

Port NOLA will invest in infrastructure and equipment to accommodate up to four new 100-foot gauge container cranes at the terminals. The investment will allow both terminals to facilitate larger ships and increases in volume. Springboarding off the new agreement, Port NOLA’s commissioners approved two resolutions at its March 2019 regular board meeting – one for the purchase of and engineering support for – two new 100-foot gauge ship-to-shore container handling gantry cranes. The new cranes will complement two existing 100-foot gauge cranes in operation at the terminal site and allow the 50-foot gauge gantry cranes to be utilized by smaller vessels. The new agreement also outlines the potential for additional Port NOLA and Ports America partnership to increase container capacity with new infrastructure at other potential locations in the Port’s tri-parish jurisdiction, including development of a new container terminal capable of handling vessels of all sizes. If the Port and Ports America determine an expansion project is feasible at a new location, Ports America will invest a minimum of $300 million and receive a right of first negotiation for development and operating rights. To ensure optimal locations for terminal and value-add activity, Port NOLA contracted with a consulting firm to conduct a feasibility and navigation study for a second container terminal on a site in St. Bernard Parish, which continues to be a consideration along with other sites downriver. Port NOLA is investing in its non-containerized facilities as well. In April 2019, it contracted with an engineering firm for engineering design services for the planned repairs and improvements of its Jourdan Road Terminal on the Inner Harbor. Anticipated completion of that project is 2022. With an eye on delivering economic benefits to its region, Port NOLA is doing the work to continue to provide shippers a competitive advantage when moving cargo through the New Orleans gateway. Working on its own and in partnership, Port NOLA is looking steadily to the future. «
