Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith announced a $6 million federal grant to build an intermodal facility at Port Bienville in Hancock County, Mississippi. The project includes a 50,000 square foot weather-protected transit warehouse between the barge slip and the rail line.
The facility is expected to cut railcar dwell time by 30 percent and reduce truck drayage trips, which may modestly lower handling costs for regional shippers. The effect on global grain or feed prices is negligible.
