Welcome to the Port of Slidell

The Port of Slidell is a marine-centric Business and Industrial Park located on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Slidell, Louisiana. This naturally strategic location adjoins the three major interstate highway systems, the I-10, I-12, and I-59 serving the greater New Orleans and Gulf Coast region with the area’s waterways near the Gulf of Mexico, Class I Railroads, and Slidell’s Airport. 
 
The Port of Slidell affords business and industry traversing the greater Gulf South a centrally located waterfront waypoint just 20± minutes from downtown New Orleans as a base-of-operations for marine-related construction and service companies transacting business along the greater Gulf Coast. From Houston to Jacksonville—from Jackson and Hattiesburg—from New Orleans—all commerce meets in Slidell. It’s all here, roads, rail, airport, at the intersection of the region’s waterways near the Gulf of Mexico.  And, our Cajun food is second to none.

Laissez les bons temps rouler...

Slidell begins where Lake Pontchartrain ends, where the lake forges triumphantly towards the Gulf of Mexico via a deepwater strait. At the Rigolets Pass, you’re as likely to encounter magjestic sailboats as toiling shrimp boats...Slidell stands just across the water from New Orleans, 20 minutes away. Culturally—and culinarily—there is little distinction between the two. The Port of Slidell sits at the the junction of interstates 10, 12, and 59 and the regions waterways and may be one of the easiest places to access in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
