River

Oftentimes, the most cost-effective method of transport is via barge. River transport is a low-impact, environmentally friendly, and safe method of transportation.

The Owensboro Riverport has the capacity to load, unload, store, and transfer large quantities of bulk material. Special cargo, such as the transport of heavy equipment, are well within our capabilities. Owensboro Riverport is served by all major barge lines on the Ohio River.

Rail

The Owensboro Riverport property is bisected by the CSX main line running from Louisville, Kentucky to Evansville, Indiana. The Riverport has three spurs that intersect the main line – two leading directly to warehouse docks and bulk product dump pits and the third to a 125-railcar capacity rail loop.
