The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) has secured a $1 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the development of the Louisiana International Terminal (LIT) with key sustainability advancements.
The state-of-the-art facility is being planned through the Envision framework established by the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure, a Green Marine Association member, to create a new terminal that prioritizes sustainability, resilience and community equitability.
Priorities include:
The project represents a milestone for green infrastructure in Louisiana, supported by a public-private partnership with commitments from Ports America (a Green Marine participant) and MSC. It underscores Port NOLA’s leadership in environmentally conscious development while fostering economic growth and strategic inland connectivity.
Port NOLA will present more information about LIT when it welcomes delegates to GreenTech 2025, Green Marine’s annual conference, on June 9th.
