Take a ride on a 150,000-ton tanker as it travels up the Mississippi, aided by NOAA's newest ocean observing system. See 35 minutes of video compressed into 45 seconds!

The Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS®) system reduces the risk of vessel groundings in the region and will help ensure cargo moves efficiently and safely in and out of the Port of New Orleans.

NOAA operates 20 PORTS® systems nationwide. While designed to be of service to the marine transportation community, anyone may access PORTS® information online or by telephone.
