Shrimp boats, charter craft and offshore-supply runs set the rhythm of this Louisiana barrier island far more than commercial cargo does. With an approach channel of roughly 1.8 m, Grand Isle cannot handle freight vessels and offers no container, breakbulk or customs facilities. The deepwater Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) lies about 29 km out to sea and is an entirely separate installation. Operators needing oilfield-service logistics rely on Port Fourchon, while containers and general cargo move through New Orleans.
