The Port of Rosedale

The Port’s Location and Advantages

Arnold & Itkin is a firm that is dedicated to fighting for the rights of injured offshore and harbor workers. Many of those who are employed in this industry and reside in Mississippi find themselves at the Port of Rosedale on a regular basis. The Port of Rosedale is located in Rosedale, Mississippi. Its primary cargoes are steel products, agricultural products such as soybeans and rice and rock.

The port itself has a nearly two-acre loading area and a crane used for loading and unloading the cargo. Like many ports, this one has a warehouse for dry storage of goods. It is 20,000 square feet and humidity controlled, so certain goods will not spoil due to the Mississippi climate.

There is also a concrete boat ramp that is open to the public and truck and railway systems for easy access to transportation. In addition, port of Rosedale is in close proximity to Interstate 55 and U.S. Highway 61. The rail services that the port uses are Great River Railroad that links to CNG, IC, B&N, KCS and NS. All of these trains are vital to the transport of these goods throughout the rest of the United States.

The channel depth is 9 feet and has a 7,000-foot by 450-foot turning basin. The barges that are the appropriate size to go through this port are inland river barges as well as shallow draft ships. The port provides services to businesses and maritime workers that include towing, repairs, cleaning and mooring, among others.
