Direct Sailings From Mobile to Pacific Revived
Revival of a direct Mobile to Pacific steamship service is planned with a sailing set for August 2.

The move shifts inland freight away from New Orleans toward Mobile, aided by new state docks offering reduced handling charges and improved rail connections. Transmarine agents say the service will boost sailings and reroute Gulf cargo, with Transmarine the sole Mobile direct coast service.
