THE port of Baltimore is continuing to welcome diverted ships from West Coast ports, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
'The international maritime industry believes in the Port of Baltimore, and this increase in business reflects that confidence,' said Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.
'Throughout the pandemic, the men and women who work at Maryland's Port have maintained it as a solid, reliable link in our nation's supply chain. Today, cargo is moving through the port and heading to homes, retail stores, and other businesses across the country,' said Mr Hogan.
Previously, the port welcomed the 9493365-IMO Noble Ace, which discharged 1,800 new Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including 600 that had been scheduled to be unloaded on the west coast.
Said Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Secretary Greg Slater: 'The Port of Baltimore has had a successful year recovering from the effects of the pandemic, and has played a key role supporting the supply chain up and down the East Coast deep into America.'
'The infrastructure investments Maryland and its partners are making at the Port are laying the foundation for new jobs, greater capacity, and even more business in the future,' said Mr Slater.
Said Maryland Port Administration (MPA) executive director William Doyle: 'Cargo continues to move through the Port of Baltimore.'
'Our creative RoRo solutions for cargo and strong e-commerce abilities, combined with our efficient warehousing and distribution markets, are making us an extremely attractive option for cargo owners to avoid supply chain issues at other ports. We look forward to continuing to work closely with all of our partners, including our great truckers, to bring cargo through Maryland,' said Mr Doyle.
The port also added new container services this year with the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and Maersk.
The MSC service is an Indian Subcontinent and Mediterranean service that includes an eight-ship string of 8,500-TEU vessels.
Maersk started a new Southeast Asia/Vietnam and China service through Baltimore including a string of up to 13 ships with carrying capacities of 4,500-plus TEU containers.
