Careers & Education
Over 10,000 people of all ages voyage through our Maritime Education program every year.
There are 25,000 miles of inland river system used for transportation in the United States. Just like trucks are transporting goods on the highways and trains are transporting goods on the rail system, towboats pushing barges are transporting goods on this “highway of water.” Products can leave the Tulsa Port of Catoosa on the waterway and be shipped anywhere in the world!
