Following a successful bidding process, Federal Marine Terminals, Inc. (FMT) and Gearbulk, Inc. have entered into an agreement under which FMT will provide stevedoring and terminal services in Lake Charles, LA.

As part of the Fednav Group, FMT has, for over four decades, operated stevedoring facilities in various ports in the US East Coast and Gulf Coast and in the Great Lakes, and is recognized as an industry leader in marine terminal operations, handling general and project cargoes.

This new expansion initiative is in line with FMT's strategic growth plan and will contribute to solidify its presence in the Gulf area to better serve its existing and future customers.

“Our presence in Lake Charles will enable the expansion of our services to fill the cargo handling needs in the Gulf region, thereby supporting our already established and long-standing terminal operations in Tampa and Port Manatee,” says Michel Tosini, FMT Executive Vice-President.
