Plaquemines Parish officials are reevaluating plans for a new West Bank container terminal, pending a study expected soon. This study, commissioned by a coalition of five deepwater ports, aims to enhance regional cooperation and competitiveness.

The decision comes after the resignation of Louisiana Gateway Port's Executive Director, unrelated to the terminal project. Meanwhile, the Port of New Orleans anticipates progress on its new terminal, awaiting a critical permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by early 2026.
