Larger barges will be able to deliver larger components of platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. This will bring more business to the Port, create more jobs and have a positive economic effect throughout the region," said Pontiff.
"The Port is already at a record capacity, the deeper channel will fuel our continued growth." As seen on the map, the AGMAC will go from the Port along the Commercial Canal (7.5 miles), then along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (21.5 miles), through Freshwater Bayou (20 miles) and into the Gulf for four more miles. The 53-mile access channel does not go through Vermilion Bay because the cost of long term maintenance in open water would be four times as expensive as the inland route that has been selected. Altogether, five alternative channel routes were evaluated, taking into consideration the environmental and economic impacts of the project. BERNARD NEW PORT COMMISSION PRESIDENT COMMITMENT TO PORT Million Investment to Deepen "It took almost 30 years and a House and Senate override of a Presidential veto to fulfill the vision," said Roy Pontiff, Executive Director of the Port of Iberia.
