Ports & Terminals

Companies that violate U.S. supply-chain rules around inundated American ports may be penalized, according to a key maritime regulator in Washington who is pushing the fragmented freight industry to work more closely to address the nation’s unprecedented bottlenecks.

A container repair depot operated by Ports America Chesapeake at the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore’s Seagirt Marine Terminal has been being relocated to an off-dock location to accommodate the Port’s surging growth in container volume. The move of the container repair depot provides more space for container handling at the dock and improves overall operational efficiencies for truckers. Ports America Chesapeake has partnered with Marine Repair Service to provide container repair at the new facility.
