Fully equipped and ready for commerce. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa has five public terminal areas, each fully equipped and staffed to efficiently transfer inbound and outbound cargos between barges, trucks and rail cars. The assets of these terminals, with the exception of the liquid bulk facilities, are owned by the Tulsa Port of Catoosa but are maintained and operated by independent contractors that have lease agreements with the Port Authority. The liquid bulk companies are private and own their own facilities.

Operated by Tuloma Stevedoring, Inc., it is a public dock, 720 feet long, with a 230-foot wide concrete apron, equipped with an assortment of forklifts and cranes, including a 200-ton overhead traveling bridge crane.
