As a testament to the Owensboro Riverport's reputation of excellence, the world's largest physical commodity futures exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, approved Owensboro Riverport as one of only two originally licensed warehouses as the delivery point of prime aluminum traded on its COMEX Division aluminum futures contract in May 1999. In March of 2005, the London Metal Exchange licensed Owensboro Riverport as a warehouse for delivery of NA380.1 aluminum alloy against its North American Special Aluminum Alloy Contract (NASSAC)…another testament of excellence.
