Nice try baby, but your chart is ranked by container shipping. Grain are

Ahhh, try reading the posts. New Orleans is is _not_ an insignificant
port overall and _yes_ it is important to grain exports with some nine
of the twelve central gulf coast elevators with deep draft channels.

This could be why I suggested rebuilding the grain terminals.

What fraction, do you suppose, of the now displaced or dead New
Orleans population was devoted to grain shipment?
