Like Hogans, MPA Executive Director William P. Doyle expressed appreciation for the partnership with MSC. “MSC is one of the top container shipping companies in the world and a great partner of ours,” Doyle said. “We love the around-the-world services with the Port of Baltimore
in between the Asia-Panama Canal and U.S.-Suez Canal routes. With our infrastructure and incredible supply chain network, there’s no better port in the country right now for handling containers than Baltimore.”
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Along with major recent infrastructure improvements for Seagirt Marine Terminal, more upgrades are on
their way. Coming this fall, Ports America Chesapeake (PAC) will open its enhanced Broening Highway inbound lanes, as well as
a new Vail Street Gate. PAC will add 15 new rubber-tired gantry cranes (RTGs) to its fleet and soon offer Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) modernization. These upgrades will improve supply chain performance and capitalize on the expansion of the Howard Street Tunnel.
