Port of Lake Charles

The Port of Lake Charles is an industrial port based in the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana, U.S.A. It is a major employer in Lake Charles. It is the eleventh largest seaport in the United States, with the Calcasieu Ship Channel providing direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, 34 miles downstream from the city docks. The ship channel intersects the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway just north of Calcasieu Lake. The Ship Channel has a project depth of 40 feet and a bottom width of 400 feet.

The Port of Lake Charles, also known as the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District, has a variety of components including City Docks, Bulk Terminals 1, 4, and 7, L'Auberge du Lac and Sugarcane Bay, the Industrial Canal, Sempra Cameron LNG, Industrial Park East, and Westlake Terminal. The port is also the future site of the 1.2 billion dollar Syngas Plan.

The current director of the Port of Lake Charles is R. Adam McBride.
