Mississippi Port Authority oversees the Port of Gulfport, a seaport that handles container, bulk, and breakbulk cargo. It serves both domestic and international trade customers by providing maritime terminal services. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, the port's position supports direct access for carriers to the Americas, improving vessel efficiency and reducing intermodal mileage to U.S. distribution markets. The organization is based in Gulfport, Mississippi, and operates with a small staff. In 2024, the authority advanced capacity expansion through a long-term lease with CORE X Gulfport to develop a state-of-the-art cold storage facility in Gulfport. The port has engaged in intermodal collaborations with major carriers and operators to broaden service options and strengthen connectivity along the Gulf Coast.
