at the Port of
Baltimore
According to Larry Johnson, MPA Trade
Development, Autos, “It is good news
for the Port of Baltimore that Mitsubishi
is adding the new Mirage model to their
current line of imports.”
Johnson added, “Mitsubishi is an
easy company to work with. They have an
excellent on-site port representative in Curt
Parrish. They keep us apprised of shipping
schedules for their import and export
vehicles at the Port of Baltimore, and we
work closely with their top logistics staff
in the home U.S. office in Cypress, Calif.”
Japan-based Mitsubishi Motors Cor-
poration was established in 1970 as a
“spin-off” of the Automotive Division of
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
“Mitsubishi has been selling vehicles
in the United States since 1981 and we
have been manufacturing vehicles, with a
UAW work force, at our plant in Normal, Ill.,
since 1988,” Irvin said. “Today, Mitsubishi
Motors North America is involved in
manufacturing, sales, marketing, research
and development operations for Mitsubishi
Motors in the United States.”
Worldwide, Mitsubishi Motors sells
some 987,000 cars a year, and 85,000 of
those are sold in North America.
The Mirage is part of a strong Mitsubishi
product portfolio that includes: the Lancer
“family” comprised of the Lancer compact
sedan, the Lancer Sportback (a perfor-
mance vehicle with cargo space to spare)
and the Lancer Evolution high-performance
sedan; the Outlander, a crossover SUV; and
the smaller U.S.-made Outlander Sport.
Both of the Outlander models have received
the coveted “IIHS Top Safety Pick +” desig-
nation for their best-in-the-business safety
and performance. Mitsubishi also offers an
all-electric Mitsubishi-i-MiEV.
Mitsubishi depends on NYK, K-Line
and Mitsui OSK to provide ocean transport
services, and AMPORTS has been processing
Mitsubishi vehicles since 2001.
“The Port personnel work closely with
our port processor to ensure their needs
are met, thereby ensuring a successful
outcome for Mitsubishi,” Casebolt said.
