The city s central location provides opportunity to deliver goods and materials to 50% of the nation s population within one day s travel time. The Owensboro Riverport plays an important role in the promotion of commerce in the region. Our location on the Ohio River at mile marker 759, with access to river, rail, and major highway systems, makes us the premier site for all your storage, transportation, and distribution needs. Our mission is to establish the Owensboro Riverport as the premier inland port in the Ohio River Valley.

The Owensboro Riverport is designated as a Homeland Security Port, a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ Zone #29, Site 8), and a U.S. Customs Port of Entry. Metals Aluminum, steel, zinc, copper, lead, and other metals pass through the port on their journey to facilities around the country. Our position along the river allows for swift transport of metals to various industries throughout the nation. Inside and outside storage is readily available for all metals.
