“We have the deep
water‚ two Class One
railroads‚ facilities‚
terminal operators and
agents with the expertise
to complete the loop and
keep it moving.”
KATHY BERGREN SMITH
maintain a “symbiotic” relationship with
Xcoal, CONSOL and CNX in order to keep
the cargo flowing.
CSX also delivers to CNX but has its
own pier at Curtis Bay. CSX spokesman
Bob Sullivan noted, “CSX has a dedicated
team of employees at Curtis Bay, … and
this will continue to be an important facility
for export coal used in the production of
steel and to provide electricity to millions
of consumers worldwide.”
The strong bonds between the Port of
Baltimore and the coal mines stretch back
more than a century. The Curtis Bay Coal Pier
was built in the 1880s by the B&O railroad
and still loads ships and barges for export.
As MPA Trade Development Manager
Cynthia Burman has noted, when it comes
to coal, Baltimore is where it all comes
together. “We have the deep water, two
Class One railroads, facilities, terminal
operators and agents with the expertise
to complete the loop and keep it moving,”
she explained.
