THE LOUISIANA INTERNATIONAL GULF TRANSFER TERMINAL (LIGTT)
LIGTT is envisioned to be transshipment and logistics “hub-and-spoke” system for containerized cargo. A purpose of the hub-and-spoke system is to effectively address emerging challenges resulting from fundamental changes in the international container shipping industry. The centerpiece of the system is a deep water cargo container transfer terminal to be located on 250 acres (101.17 hectares) of state-owned property south of River Mile 0 of the Mississippi River along the major shipping channel of the Southwest Pass directly proximal to the U. S. Gulf Coast shipping lanes. The site provides for river water depths of 45 feet on the river side of the site and depths of 75 feet on the Gulf of Mexico side.
