Welcome to the Catoosa Chamber of Commerce, Catoosa, OK.

  The Tulsa Port of Catoosa is an inland seaport and 2,000-acre industrial park created especially for industries that can benefit from waterway transporation.

   There are about 52 companies now located at the Port, employing 2,866 people.

   Seventeen locks and dams, built by the Army Corps of Engineers, are located between Catoosa and the Mississippi River, 445 miles from Catoosa.

   Barge transportation is important to many industires due to the cost savings.  It is estimated that transportation by barge costs about one-fifth as much as truck.

   When eight barges are lashed together to form a "tow" for a trip on the river, their combined load is equivalent to 480 semi-trailer trucks.  A single towboat can push eight barges.

   To visit the Port, drive north from Catoosa on Highway 167 to East 46th Street North and turn right to the Port office. 

   The Arkansas River Historical Society Museum is located at the Port.
