Seagirt Partnership Named
‘Logistics Deal of the Year’
P
roject Finance Magazine
awarded its “North American
Logistics Deal of the Year” for 2010 to the Maryland Port
Administration for its 50-year agreement with Ports America
Chesapeake.
The landmark agreement, signed in January 2010, let Ports
America lease the 200-acre Seagirt Marine Terminal in return for
building a 50-foot container berth for the Port of Baltimore. This
partnership is expected to produce 5,700 new jobs, and total
investment and revenue to the state could reach $1.8 billion over
the life of the agreement, while generating $16 million a year in
new taxes for Maryland.
This is the second time the agreement has received an award;
Infrastructure Investor Magazine
awarded it the “North American
Infrastructure Deal of the Year.”
