Port of Pine Bluff

The port’s 20-acre public terminal complex is managed by Watco Terminal & Port Services, a leading transportation and supply-chain logistics company. The Port of Pine Bluff is served by Union Pacific Railroad, and offers more than 137,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space. In addition to indoor storage, the port has plenty of space for outdoor storage.

There are many advantages to our FTZ designation. Importers can defer — and sometimes reduce or even eliminate — customs duties on imports. We can help streamline the paperwork process needed for customs clearance, especially by consolidating multiple shipments into one filing.
