CATOOSA: “It is good to see our shipping activity back to normal levels,” said David Page, Chairman of the City of Tulsa-Rogers County Port Authority in a press release.
For the month of August, 155,990 tons of cargo moved through the Port of Catoosa, which is significantly more than the last three months, according to 2015 Port Tonnage Data.
During the month of May, only 46,806 tons of cargo moved through the Port, making it the month with the least amount of cargo — for the current year — by a significant margin.
Recovery of shipping activity was slow for June and July. June saw 58,200 tons of cargo moved through the Port, and July had 68,514 tons of cargo.
With only four months of the year left, the Port has only moved a total of 993,300 tons of cargo. At this time last year, the port had already moved 1,661,766 tons of cargo.
“Barges are moving now, and have been for the past three or four weeks. During the time completely shut down (cargo was) transloaded from barge to truck or rail,” said Jeff Yowell, the port’s marketing and communications manager. “Every company had their own individual situation they had to face. We have traffic now and things are looking up. I am very pleased with the 155,000 tons.”
