Shipping cars through the port

Hickman harbor is a river port. The transport water vessels it accommodates are barges. Barges are an economical means of transport when compared to road and rail. But the speed of this mode of transport is too slow. For these reasons, overseas shipping of cars to or from Port of Elvis Stahr Harbor, Kentucky is not feasible.

Kentucky, being a landlocked state, does not have a seaport. Residents of Hickman and the entire state of Kentucky have to use nearby seaports to ship cars internationally. When shipping via the Atlantic Ocean is more economical, you can use the following alternatives.

• Port of New Orleans, Louisiana
• Port of Louisiana, Louisiana
• Port of Mobile, Alabama
• Port of Pascagoula, Mississippi

When shipping to or from the Pacific Rim, it makes more sense to ship through the busy seaports in California such as;

• Port of Los Angeles
