Information flow is another key requirement in handling forest products.” A large majority of the


product arrives the Port of Baltimore by break-bulk vessel. “We do handle some containers, but very small volumes,” Bailey adds.

handled at Savannah’s Ocean Terminal and Brunswick’s Mayor’s Point. Ocean Terminal has five deepwater berths on 200 acres with ample paved and indoor storage. At Ocean Terminal, rail options include Class


I providers Norfolk


Southern and CSX, with on- terminal switching by Norfolk Southern. “Covered rail at both


Ocean Terminal and Mayor’s Point allows for safe handling for paper products,” states Robert Morris, GPA spokesman.


“A impacts series on of


general improvements at Ocean Terminal have positive

Port of Mobile


The Port of Mobile operates as a major forest products port with service to most major trade lanes. In FY 2018 , its breakbulk totaled 1,249,468 tons; containerized, 666,163 tons. Among the leading global markets with which the port does business in this sector are the Caribbean, Europe, Brazil, Far East, and Mexico. “We also do some trade with Canada and the Med,” Adams adds. “We handle rolled and bale market pulp, rolled fluff pulp, Kraft Liner Board, paper, lumber, poles/ties/timbers, and fiberboard.


Pulp is the


largest forest products group by volume, followed by lumber.” Shipments are transported via breakbulk and containerized cargo, both of which the port handles for import and export. Given that Mobile is a full-

to deepen and widening the ship channel.


“The project’s


record of decision is expected this year with construction anticipated in 2020,” Adams reveals. “All of these assets, and our


ocean carriage on most major trade lanes, provides forest products shippers excellent services and facilities,” she says.


Steamship lines


calling on Mobile that handle forest products are G2Ocean, SAGA and Oslo Bulk on the breakbulk side; Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM (with slot sharing with COSCO, Evergreen, and OOCL), and ZIM Lines for containerized carriage.
