CUSTOMER QUOTES
‘A Very Close Relationship’:
Customers Reflect on Their History with the Port
ROADONE HAS BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH THE PORT SINCE ITS INCEPTION, WHICH WAS 10 YEARS AGO.
Prior to that, the company was called RoadLink, and we
probably have another 15 years of business with that name. Right
now, our business is primarily port drayage. We drive and handle a lot of consumer goods. We also do some container yard work, and we’re doing an electric truck pilot with the MPA, IKEA and Nikola, which is a truck manufacturer. Our relationship with the Port is very strong. We’re Boston-headquartered and [MPA Executive Director] Bill Doyle is from Boston, so my family has known and admired him for a very long time. My father and I have had a very close relationship with the Port, just due to the longevity of our business dealings. Baltimore has been a very strong port for us.”

KEEN TRANSPORT IS PART OF HIGH AND HEAVY AMERICAS, ONE OF THE MAIN DIVISIONS WITHIN LOGISTICS SERVICES UNDER THE WALLENIUS
WILHELMSEN UMBRELLA. When Keen was acquired by Wallenius Wilhelmsen, it was a natural marriage because we have our ships,
and we have our terminals, such as Mid-Atlantic Terminal in Baltimore. We operate strategic equipment processing facilities, where we take heavy equipment and work with the original equipment manufacturer to configure it with attachments, special installations and quality preparation for the dealer or the end user. And then we offer and provide transportation for those heavy equipment customers and many others. Our relationship with the Port from the Keen side goes back about 48 years. We have a longstanding relationship of transporting cargo in and out of the Port of Baltimore, and we have a very special working relationship with the Maryland Port Administration.”

WE’VE BEEN DOING BUSINESS AT THE PORT SINCE 1971. THIS IS A FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS THAT MY DAD STARTED, AND BALTIMORE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A KEY PIECE OF OUR SUCCESS. We provide
maintenance and repair of chassis, containers and reefers, and as of late in Baltimore, we are the off-port chassis yard for the MPA. We’ve always considered ourselves good partners with the Port, but Mr. Doyle and his team have taken that partnership to the next level. We couldn’t ask for a better group of people to work with.”
