the United States, as port congestion is at an all-time high. Baltimore is a prime gateway for containers with goods heading to the ecommerce market and for cargo sent to the Midwest via rail. The Port of Baltimore has a proven track record of handling mid-size container ships that will be utilized by Maersk in the new Southeast Asia service. The Port has served 22 “ad hoc” ships over the past year - vessels diverted to Baltimore that were not on a regularly scheduled service call – totaling more than 35,000 TEU. “The new Maersk service


will help commerce move through Maryland across the country and around the globe,” said MDOT MPA Executive Director William P. Doyle. “The Port of Baltimore’s incredible e-commerce abilities, combined with the number of local distribution, fulfillment and sorting centers, make us very attractive to beneficial cargo owners.” “Ports America Chesapeake


is excited to be expanding our partnership with Maersk as they introduce a new East Coast Trans-Pacific service calling Baltimore,” said Bayard Hogans,

vice president of Ports America Chesapeake. “Maersk’s TP20


service will expand the global reach of the Port of Baltimore by providing direct ocean service to Southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam.” “The new Maersk line is


fantastic news for the men and women of ILA 333,” said Scott Cowan, president of International Longshoremen’s Association Local 333. “More business for the Port of Baltimore means more work for our labor force. We are also looking forward to increased work opportunities with the second deep container berth and when the Howard Street Tunnel project comes online.” The Port’s container business


is getting a liſt with the ongoing project to expand capacity to serve ultra-large ships. Dredging is


complete for a second,


50-foot-deep berth at the Seagirt Marine Terminal, and four additional Neo-Panamax cranes arriving this summer will be operational by the end of the year. Baltimore is one of a few East Coast ports with the ability to handle some of the world’s largest vessels, and the new deep berth will allow two of these massive ships to be serviced at the same time. Complementing the new


Seagirt berth are plans to expand Baltimore’s


Howard Street


Tunnel, which received final federal environment approval in June under the National Environmental Policy Act. The expanded tunnel will allow for double-stacked container rail cars, clearing a longtime hurdle for the Port and giving the East Coast seamless double-stack capacity from Maine to Florida. The project involves clearance improvements in the tunnel and at 22 other locations between Baltimore and Philadelphia.
