The New Orleans area of the United States has suffered tremendous damage due to Hurricane Katrina, and the reconstruction of the entire New Orleans area is expected to take 4 to 5 years and more than 4 million tons of cement.

     New Orleans is the second largest cement import port in the United States, and its annual cement cargo throughput accounts for 10% of the total imports of the United States. The hurricane forced the closure of the port of New Orleans and the temporary suspension of cement imports, which will have a certain impact on cement imports in the United States.
