About This Seaport
Best known for bulk and breakbulk, Mobile (US MOB) has quietly built a container business while becoming the deepest container port on the US Gulf Coast after a 2025 dredge to 50 feet. Alabama's only deep-water seaport sits on the Mobile River just above the Gulf of Mexico and is run by the Alabama Port Authority. Coal moves in volume through the McDuffie terminal alongside steel imports, export lumber and kraft linerboard. The APM Terminals facility handles roughly 500,000 TEU a year; a new $131 million berth approved in October 2025 will lift capacity toward 1.4 million TEU on seven ship-to-shore cranes from 2026. Five Class I railroads plus barge access via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway give unusually deep reach into the US interior. Shippers needing larger Gulf container networks typically compare Mobile with Houston and New Orleans.
