In Memoriam I John ”Jack” Gray
T
he Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor lost a dear member of its port family this year when John “Jack” Gray, owner of Jack Gray Transport Inc., passed away on March 15. Mr. Gray took over the family trucking business in 1951, eventually moving the company from Hammond to Gary, Ind. Over the years he diversified the company, adding a sand and gravel company, Old Dutch Sand, and a stevedoring company. Lakes and Rivers Transfer, the stevedoring company he founded, is a longtime port tenant. “Jack was a staple at our port for decades,” said Rich Cooper, CEO of the Ports of Indiana. “His name is synonymous with the success and growth of the port over the years, and he will be greatly missed. We were deeply saddened by the news of his death and offer our deepest condolences to his family.”

PORT OF INDIANA-BURNS HARBOR
16 CONNECTIONS, 1 PORT IN THE ‘HEARTLAND OF AMERICA’ Strategic location gives port enviable freight transportation options
M
odern technology has unleashed the power to connect people all over the world. Easy online access and the popularity of personal electronic devices allows connectivity 24/7. To a business, however, connectivity means access to diverse and reliable transportation resources. A highly developed supply chain infrastructure that includes interstate highways, a large railroad network and waterway access is critical for companies to trade goods at low cost. For ‘America’s Heartland,’ the Port of IndianaBurns Harbor provides unparalleled freight transportation options that include three waterborne shipping choices, plus access to five interstates and eight railroads. “A key to the port’s success is a strategic location that allows global shipping connections via the Atlantic Ocean as well as the Gulf of Mexico at the midpoint of North America,” said Port Director Rick Heimann. “In addition, the port provides access to land transportation with easy connections to all major railroads and numerous highways making it ideally situated for moving cargo in and out of the heartland.”
GLOBAL ACCESS
Located in northwest Indiana on the southern tip of Lake Michigan, this international port offers 17 berths that can accommodate ocean-going vessels as well as all vessels traversing the Great Lakes and inland rivers. The port’s Great Lakes location connects the Midwest to the world via the St. Lawrence Seaway to the Atlantic Ocean and to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Inland Waterways System. Designed to provide efficient transloading of cargo between water, rail and road, the port can provide a competitive advantage to companies that move cargo by water. It is also close enough to Chicago, America’s third largest city, to take advantage of major highway and railroad connections. North/south interstates I-65 and I-57 and east/west I-80, I-90 and I-94 are close-by and the 4
PORTSIDE – 2015 Issue 2
Norfolk Southern and Indiana Harbor Belt railroads serve the port providing access to all Class I railroads. Situated in the largest steel-producing region in North America, the port is home to 30 businesses, half of which are steel-related companies, including ArcelorMittal, Ratner Steel and Indiana Pickling/Processing. Steel coils, billets, wire and rods are handled by the port in addition to raw materials and byproducts that are involved in the steel-making process. While the port handles large amounts of steel, it also handles grain, minerals, dry/liquid fertilizer, salt, limestone and, because of its unique location and multimodal capabilities, it serves as a hub for large dimensional cargo moving across the world or across the country. Port companies ship cargo to and from 15 countries and 47 states. The port recently handled a series of 20,000-gallon beer fermentation tanks from Europe for breweries in Illinois and Michigan. An 885,000-pound barge shipment containing a fuel processing unit enroute from Oklahoma to Ohio utilized the port’s specialized Ro-Ro dock, used to roll-on and roll-off cargo that is too large or cumbersome for cranes.

In addition, the facility has 125,000 tons of liquid storage capacity, 90,000 sq. ft. of covered storage for bulk cargo, 330,000 sq. ft. general cargo storage in 4 sheds and 55 acres of paved lay-down storage space. Climatecontrolled storage is also available.
ROOM TO GROW
This well-connected port has room to grow with industrial sites available for companies that are looking for access to multiple modes of transportation. Zoned heavy industrial, currently there are 115 acres available for development with the largest parcel being a 57-acre site that includes 1,000 ft. of dock and water frontage. In addition, the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor is designated a ForeignTrade Zone (FTZ #152), providing incentives for international shippers. The port recently reported its best year ever in 2014, handling more shipments than any year since it opened in 1970. Total tonnage was up nearly 30 percent over 2013.

Port provides important link in production of Kentucky bourbon JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. – When people think about Kentucky bourbon, they may think of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the tour organized in 1999 by the Kentucky Distiller’s Association that offers a closer look at the “art and science” of making bourbon as well as its history dating back to the 1700s. What folks may not know is that the ‘supply-chain trail’ for this remarkable industry runs through Indiana. From its facility at the Port of IndianaJeffersonville, Consolidated Grain and Barge
(CGB) is a port of entry for rye, a key ingredient in the production of bourbon. Rye comes to Indiana from as far away as Germany and Canada. It’s then transported to Louisville and ultimately to the great Scott Stewart bourbon brands of Kentucky. That shipping process Port Director links three CGB-related businesses. CGB Grain manages the order, Consolidated Terminals and Contact Info: Logistics Co. handles the transportation to Indiana (812) 283-9662 by barge and rail, and MG Rail provides short-line sstewart@portsofindiana.com rail service in delivering the rye to its final destination. “Given the history of early Kentucky bourbon shipments on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, it’s refreshing to see that ports and rivers remain in the supply chain of this exceptional business after so many years,” said Port Director Scott Stewart. There may be an opportunity for the port to play an even larger role in the production of America’s native spirit. A recent CNBC News report indicated bourbon production has increased 150 percent over the past 15 years. The number of distilleries in Kentucky alone has jumped more than 200 percent since 2012, and according to the Kentucky Distillers Association, 19 more distilleries are coming to the state next year. The transportation connections between Kentucky and Indiana will also be greatly improving in the near future as the $2.6 billion Ohio River Bridges Project constructs two new bridges linking both states. The new Downtown Crossing will open in early 2016 to accommodate the closing and rehabilitation of the current I-65 bridge. The new East End Bridge and the updated I-65 bridge are both scheduled to open at the end of 2016. While the port has an important supply-chain connection to Kentucky bourbon, local Jeffersonville residents may recall another connection. For many years, numerous warehouses (called rackhouses in bourbon lingo) stored barrels of aging Kentucky bourbon on a portion of property that today is part of the Port of Three Consolidated Grain and Barge-related companies help get rye Indiana-Jeffersonville.
