New Orleans port receives shipment of steel piping

It is reported that an unusually large shipment of heavy equipment cargo arrived at the Port of New Orleans.

The delivery to the port's Louisiana Avenue wharf included more than 25,000 cubic meters of steel piping from China for a coal fired power plan at Livery in Illinois.

Stevedores spent the day moving the pipes onto 24 hopper barges, which will move the materials to their destination up the Mississippi River.
