The Industrial Canal is 3 miles long and has a 1,400 by 1,400-foot turning basin at its east end and is located 12 miles south of Lake Charles at the intersection of the Calcasieu Ship Channel and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.

The canal is 22.4 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and 200 acres of developable property on the waterfront.

The project depth is 40 feet and bottom width is 400 feet.

The port-owned railroad tracks serve industries on the Canal.

Union Pacific serves the area and the over-the-road motor carriers offer service to the area.

The Trunkline LNG terminal and regasification facility, located on the turning basin, is one of the most technologically advanced liquefied natural gas terminals in the world. This facility is designed to receive an LNG vessel at six-day intervals. The LNG is stored in four 600,000 barrel tanks in its liquid state.
