Region profile 02
What The River Parishes makes
Between Norco and Donaldsonville the Mississippi carries one of the densest concentrations of chemical production in the world: chlor-alkali and vinyls at Plaquemine, methanol and olefins at Geismar, ammonia and urea at Donaldsonville, and refining at Norco.
Cable surplus from this corridor is expansion-led and turnaround-led. Plants of this size buy to a specification and store to a procedure, which makes their surplus the most reviewable in the state, and the most valuable per reel.
Chlor-alkali and vinyls
Dow's Louisiana Operations near Plaquemine and Shintech's PVC complex, which announced a $3.4 billion expansion in 2026.
Methanol and olefins
Three Methanex methanol plants and Shell's Geismar olefins and glycols site.
Ammonia and nitrogen
CF Industries' Donaldsonville complex, described by the company as the world's largest and most flexible ammonia facility.
Steel and construction
A $5.8 billion electric arc furnace mill under construction at RiverPlex MegaPark in Donaldsonville.
Freight and access 03
Getting a lot out of The River Parishes
River Road and LA 30, LA 1, LA 70 and LA 73 carry the corridor's traffic, with I-10 to the south and I-49 to the west. Every plant has private barge access on the Mississippi, and the Port of Greater Baton Rouge anchors the public deepwater capacity.
Loading and freight. Freight responsibility, loading method and pickup date are agreed in writing for the specific lot. Heavy reels are loaded by rated equipment, never by the conductor or the jacket.
