Enstructure, a leading U.S. marine terminal and logistics company, and GT USA Wilmington (GT USA) announced today the completion of the transfer of operations at the Port of Wilmington to Enstructure. Enstructure was recently selected by the Diamond State Port Corporation (DSPC) and the State of Delaware as the new operator at the Port of Wilmington to collaborate with the DSPC on the potential expansion at Edgemoor.
Peter Richards, CEO of Gulftainer, stated that "GT Americas has decided to step away from the development of the Port of Wilmington." He continued, "Whilst the significant contributions made by Gulftainer in Wilmington over the last 4.5 years have been fully recognized by all stakeholders and have embellished Gulftainer's successful track record of creating highly productive port operations, the evolved economic conditions and future financial viability did not meet our threshold for continued investment. Adhering to strict financial discipline has been central to the success of Gulftainer over the years. When investing in trade infrastructure and services, our goal is to serve our global customers and we remain committed to investing in the right projects worldwide, that have an appetite for foreign direct investment."
