Note: Port of Gulfport is a KCS customer. <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />Port of Gulfport plans to reopen Sept. 30 <br /> <br />The Associated Press <br /> <br />GULFPORT — The Port of Gulfport plans to reopen for cargo shipments Sept. 30, 32 days after damage from Hurricane Katrina shut it down, Executive Director Don Allee says. <br /> <br />The port, operated by the Mississippi State Port Authority, is the third-busiest container port on the Gulf of Mexico, according to the agency's World Wide Web site. It moves more than 2.3 million tons of cargo annually, including tropical fruit, frozen poultry, livestock and aluminum. <br /> <br />Allee said Wednesday that the port is one of the major U.S. points for incoming shipments of bananas and other fruit from Central America. <br /> <br />Crowley Maritime Corp., an Oakland, Calif.-based shipper, said Tuesday that it will resume its liner cargo services to and from Gulfport Oct. 1, starting with a shipment of cargo from Central America. <br /> <br /> <br />
