The Port of Baltimore
■
January/February 2011
To subscribe or renew, visit
lthough 2010 was a challenging year
for paper, there is good news on the
horizon as Baltimore has been regaining
some tonnage as one of its large
importers has been aggressively gaining sales. There
are also several additional opportunities for Baltimore
in 2011 that are promising.
Pulp from Brazil and Uruguay is growing, with
production volumes scheduled to go up as much
as 40% between now and 2014. One of the major
export ports in Brazil is already constructing facilities
to double its capacity to handle this rapid growth.
Brazilian mills are the most efficient in the world and
the climate to grow full trees in 6 to 7 years is a recipe
for success and profits.
Baltimore’s facilities and labor remain among the best
in the industry. This will help assure the Port a strong
position in this niche market for years to come.
