Little Rock, Arkansas

The Port of Little Rock is a full intermodal bulk and breakbulk facility on the Arkansas River that averages 40 barge calls per month. Barges are loaded and discharged at three separate dock locations. The main dock has two barge berths while the slackwater dock has one barge berth, and the TIGER dock has both a general cargo dock and a separate rail-served barge loading conveyor system. The port is located 113 river miles from the Mississippi River. It is served by two major railroad companies and a short line railroad that provides daily switching service. Truck access is excellent as the port is located approximately five miles from Interstates 30, 40 and 530. The Little Rock Harbor Service is located adjacent to the port offering switching and fleeting services. Special services provided by the port include real time inventory control and product packaging.
