Expansion funding Ports of Indiana recently secured a $25 million federal BUILD grant to support a $32 million expansion of the Jeffersonville port, signaling ongoing capacity growth and potential interest in supply chain optimization, multimodal infrastructure, and related vendor opportunities.

Multimodal growth Active capital program of $100 million to upgrade docks and rail infrastructure at Burns Harbor and develop new multimodal terminals across all three ports, presenting cross-portfolio opportunities for logistics providers, equipment suppliers, and integrated IT or TMS solutions.

Talent partnerships Strategic collaboration with Indiana University Southeast to launch a logistics internship indicates a willingness to engage with academia for workforce development, creating potential channels for student-led pilot projects, internships for client teams, and talent-enabled services for customers.

Bonded storage Mount Vernon recently added bonded storage and handled aluminum shipments, suggesting openness to value-added warehousing, customs-compliant storage, and specialized handling solutions for metal, electronics, or other regulated cargo.

Strategic positioning As a state-run, self-funded inland port system with access to two coastal ranges and strong domestic/foreign waterborne shipping rank, Ports of Indiana offers competitive collaboration potential with carriers, shippers, and rail providers seeking reliable inland port access and government-backed coordination.
