Msc to build new Baltimore box terminal
MSC’s port sector operating subsidiary, Terminal Investment Limited (TIL) in partnership with local property developer Tradepoint Atlantic, is set to establish a new container terminal in Baltimore on the site of a former steel mill.
The terminal will occupy 67ha on the brownfield site at Coke Point, a component of the Sparrows Point area of the port which formerly housed the Bethlehem steelworks and shipyard, an area which Tradepoint Atlantic has a remit to develop.
The terminal is planned to possess on-dock rail with complementary works on expanding the Howard Street Tunnel, the rail line that runs under the city of Baltimore connecting the port to the hinterland, seen as integral to the project viability. The tunnel is being enlarged by CSX with the objective of facilitating use by double-stack trains.
