BALTIMORE: It was a record first quarter of 2016 for the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore. The Port’s public marine terminals managed by the Maryland Port Administration (MPA) handled a record 2.4 million tons of general cargo. General cargo includes autos, containers, forest products, roll on/roll off equipment, and breakbulk. That surpassed the previous record of 2.3 million tons that was set in the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, the Port of Baltimore saw its market share in several of its key commodities increase.
“The Port of Baltimore has had a record-breaking start to 2016 following a very successful 2015,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “As one of Maryland’s top economic generators, my administration will continue to work closely with Port officials to ensure this growing seaport continues to thrive.”
