Beyond pallets - wood products for Louisiana industry
Louisiana's wood-product consumption is driven by three industrial zones: the Baton Rouge-New Orleans petrochemical corridor (Cancer Alley - ExxonMobil, Dow, Shell, Sasol, Formosa), the Gulf of Mexico oil-and-gas offshore service network, and the Mississippi River export port system (Port of South Louisiana is the largest tonnage port in the US). For petrochem, heavy-timber dunnage and ISPM-15 bracing kits ship continuously for pipe, valve, and equipment transport.
For offshore oil-and-gas service (Port Fourchon, Houma, Morgan City), heavy-duty wooden skids and engineered platform-wood bases ship for completion equipment, pump units, and offshore-component transport. All wood going offshore and overseas requires ISPM-15 stamping. For sugar-cane and seafood (Louisiana is a top US seafood state), wire-bound crates run on seasonal programs.
The Mississippi River export port system (Port of South Louisiana, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Plaquemines) pushes constant breakbulk and container export - every wood component needs ISPM-15 bracing and heat-treated dunnage. For utility (Entergy Louisiana, Cleco), utility cable reels and transformer skids ship for post-storm restoration and grid rebuild. For aerospace (NASA Michoud, Lockheed Martin), MIL-STD-2073 wood boxes ship under DOD and NASA contracts. Louisiana delivery is next-day across the state.
