Seagirt Crane Dedicated to
Captain Di Casagrande
T
he hustle-bustle of Seagirt Marine Terminal paused
on August 22 as an honor unique to the Port of
Baltimore was bestowed upon a beloved member of
the community. Family members joined representatives of
Ports America, Mediterranean Shipping Company and the
Maryland Port Administration during the dedication of Crane
Number 11 to Captain E. Lorenzo Di Casagrande, who passed
away in 2010.
The crane is the easternmost in the
set of four new cranes at the terminal’s
50-
foot berth.
“
The Captain will be the first to greet
the inbound ships,” said Mauro Dal Bo,
MSC’s Baltimore Office Manager.
“
We at MSC were very touched
that Ports America chose to honor the
Captain,” Dal Bo added. “It is a nice way
for us to remember his energetic spirit
and his commitment to this port.”
