Terminal Investment Limited Announces Development of Baltimore Port Terminal In Partnership With Tradepoint Atlantic
25/10/2022
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company announced that Terminal Investment Limited (TIL) in partnership with Tradepoint Atlantic recently launched a joint investment to develop a 165-acre container terminal with an on-dock rail facility at Coke Point, in the port of Baltimore, significantly expanding container handling capacity in the state of Maryland. The new venture, once complete, is expected to create hundreds of jobs and serve as a major driver of economic growth in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region.
A major port terminal operator, TIL presently conducts operations and logistics investments in over 40 ports around the world. The new agreement with Tradepoint will further the development of TIL’s operations in the United States and will highlight the company’s commitment towards positively improving the transportation and logistics industry through infrastructure investments and innovative solutions, marking another milestone in our continued business development.
The announcement of this partnership will initiate a multi-year process of public engagement, design, permitting, and construction phases that will substantially improve U.S. infrastructure through enhanced capacity that will serve ever-growing international trade and development.
“We are excited to announce the development of this new terminal, which we envision will be one of the most modern and environmentally sustainable terminals in the United States,” said Tom Van Eynde, TIL Terminal Investment Director for North America. “The supreme location of the terminal will allow for rapid transit of cargo to the Washington metropolitan area, the third biggest consumer market in the U.S. On top of this, the terminal’s intermodal yard will also offer the closest rail connection from the US east coast to the mid-west.”
