Did you know❓ Break-bulk was the Port of Gulfport’s original specialty. Since the 1800's, the Port was a key site for exporting lumber. During South Mississippi's 'timber boom,' the convenient location to the natural Ship Island basin led to the founding of the City of Gulfport. In 1902, the Port of Gulfport was officially deemed a seaport and soon became the world's leading exporter of yellow pine at that time. Today, the East Pier is still outfitted for breakbulk operations with 300,000 square feet of warehouse space with direct rail capability. #breakbulk #historical #lumber #gulfcoast #gulfport #portoperations

Nine years of the silos! It's been nine years since the silos were constructed at the end of our West Pier. For two weeks, concrete was continously poured to construct these 15 silos. Watch the video to see the construction process in action! These bulk-handling facilities were an $85 million investment and are utilized by The Chemours Company to house ilmenite ore, imported from places such as Australia, Southern Africa, Romania, Madagascar, and more. The ilmenite ore is then transported by rail to the Chemours facility, where it is processed into Titanium Dioxide, a whitening pigment commonly used in paints, clothes, toothpaste, etc. #port #silos #bulk #gulfport #gulfcoast #ore
