About This Seaport
Listed as US GTL, Gretna lies on the west bank of the Mississippi in Jefferson Parish, forming part of the sprawling Port of New Orleans district opposite the city. The river's deep channel — quay depths around 12.5 m — lets ocean-going vessels reach the riverfront, where facilities lean towards breakbulk and project cargo. Container traffic, by contrast, is concentrated at the major terminals on the New Orleans bank, such as the Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal. Gretna's former ferry terminal has been converted into a river-cruise berth, while a passenger ferry still crosses the river. Forwarders handling boxed cargo route it through the Port of New Orleans, with the Port of South Louisiana as a further option.
