Board approves stevedore license allowing South Louisiana Rail Facility to self-load vessels
Summary
The board approved Submission 2024-051, granting a stevedore's license to the South Louisiana Rail Facility so it may load vessels directly rather than hire an outside stevedore; port staff reported required materials were provided.
The Lake Charles Harbor Terminal District approved Submission 2024-051 on Nov. 25, granting a stevedore's license to the South Louisiana Rail Facility. Port staff presented that the facility has been loading bulk grain at the Industrial Canal and now seeks authorization to load vessels directly rather than contracting a third-party stevedore.
Port staff said the applicant supplied all necessary information for the permit. A commissioner moved to approve the stevedore license and the chair declared the item passed after no objections were raised; the record shows a voice approval with no roll-call tally included in the transcript.
The license, as presented, would allow the facility to perform its own vessel loading operations; staff did not indicate additional conditions or special limitations in the meeting discussion. The board did not record public comment on this submission during the meeting.
