The Port of New Orleans serves as a connection point between road, rail and water travel, linking cargo ships from around the world with U.S. ground transportation. With its critical role in the supply chain, security is paramount at the Port of New Orleans.
The port was awarded $514,964 in port security grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to upgrade technology at the Harbor Police Department (HPD)’s Maritime Security Operations Center (MSOC).
