Ingram Marine Group, the largest barge operator on the U.S. inland waterways, is set to invest nearly $50 million in the St. Louis region over the next three years.
Key projects include the expansion of the Municipal River Terminal (MRT) on the riverfront just north of downtown St. Louis, which will feature one of the largest and most efficient barge-to-rail direct transfer systems focused on fertilizer crop nutrients supporting farmers throughout the Midwest. Additionally, the company is rebuilding the Tyler Street terminal just south of the MRT to handle export bulk materials more efficiently.
On the Illinois side of the Mississippi River, Ingram is developing another rail-to-barge facility to support grain and grain byproducts. The projects are funded through a combination of private funds and a public BUILD grant as Ingram works with various agencies to deliver them, including the St. Louis Port Authority and America’s Central Port.
