The federal government and the City of Tuscaloosa share the ownership of the Port of Tuscaloosa; the operation of the port is leased out to Powell Sales and has been run by them since 1997. </p><p>At waterway mile marker 343.2 on the opposite side of the river is a steel company with its own tracks at the rear of the plant connecting with the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Southern_Railroad" class="mw-redirect" title="Kansas City Southern Railroad">Kansas City Southern Railroad</a> for barge shipments of iron and steel products such as <a href="/wiki/Ingots" class="mw-redirect" title="Ingots">ingots</a>, bars, rods, steel slabs, plates and coils. Tuscaloosa Steel Corporation was one of the first U.S. steel companies to implement the Steckel Mill Technology. </p><p>The Port of Tuscaloosa grew out of the system of locks and dams on the Black Warrior River built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1890s. Its construction opened up an inexpensive transportation link to the Gulf seaport of Mobile, Alabama that stimulated the mining and metallurgical industries of the region that are still in operation.<sup id="cite_ref-109" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-109"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>109<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army_Corps_of_Engineers" title="United States Army Corps of Engineers">Army Corps of Engineers</a> has maintained a system of locks and dams along the Black Warrior River for over a century to allow navigability all the way up to Birmingham.<sup id="cite_ref-110" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-110"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Barge traffic thus routinely runs through Tuscaloosa to the Alabama State Docks at Mobile, Alabama.
