The Paducah-McCracken County Riverport Authority runs a full-service port facility in Paducah, Kentucky, situated where the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers meet. It handles containerized, break-bulk, and bulk cargoes and provides storage in terminal or warehouse facilities, supporting operations throughout the year in Western Kentucky. Its inland location—near the confluence of four major eastern river systems—enables shippers to reach more than 65% of the U.S. population and the Canadian border within a day’s drive, with direct access to Gulf ports. The port also administers Foreign Trade Zone #294 to support international trade.

The organization is designated as a Marine Highway Port by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration, a distinction complemented by the Marine Highway Leadership Award it received in 2016. It concentrates on serving customers with containerized, break-bulk, and bulk logistics needs, leveraging its central position to connect inland and foreign trade from Paducah, in western Kentucky. The port operates with a small staff focused on delivering versatile facility services for its clients.
