Combining both the public and private marine terminals, the Port saw 32.4 million tons of international cargo cross its docks last year,
which was valued at approximately $51.1 billion. Baltimore is ranked as
the top port among all U.S. ports for handling autos and light trucks, farm and construction machinery, imported gypsum, imported sugar and imported aluminum.
Overall, Baltimore is ranked ninth for the total dollar value of cargo and 13th for cargo tonnage for all U.S. ports.
“This is a very environmentally friendly way of moving freight across the country, and it will open up the entire eastern half of the United States for products coming through the Port of Baltimore,” Ward said. 􏰀
