The Port of Baltimore
■
January/February 2011
To subscribe or renew, visit
hile the global economic conditions
proved extremely challenging,
Baltimore fared better than many other
U.S. ports because of its cargo diversity.
Although the public terminals saw a decrease of 2%
of total cargo tonnage in FY 2010, the Port was able to
maintain market share and remain tops in the nation
for imported forest products and imported Roll-On/
Roll-Off (RO/RO) cargo. Baltimore also kept its No. 2
ranking for exported autos.
Moving forward, there are plenty of reasons to be
optimistic about the future of the Port of Baltimore.
As the economy begins to rebound, the Port should
handle more cargo in FY 2011 than in FY 2010. In
addition, the continued development and construction
of the new 50-foot berth ensures Baltimore will be one
of the very few East Coast ports ready to accept larger
ships and more cargo when the Panama Canal project
is finished.
