Xeneta: Freight rates steady despite supply chain disruption in Baltimore

Ports across the US outline targeted plans to utilise EPA funding to accelerate the shift to zero-emission equipment and infrastructure.

Port of Baltimore is rolling out double-stack rail operations as Howard Street Tunnel Project hits construction milestone.

The Port of Baltimore has secured a US$ 31m grant for the Dundalk Terminal upgrade as the port recovers from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, now handling 90% of the ships it managed a year ago.

While the strike on the US East and Gulf Coast has ended, Xeneta’s Peter Sand warns that “it is only a tentative agreement, and automation at ports will remain a major stumbling block.” 

Tradepoint Atlantic and Sparrows Point Container Terminal announced that sediment from the southern Sparrows Point Channel complies with ocean placement standards.

Ships currently en route to US east and gulf coast ports will likely anchor offshore, awaiting resolution of the ongoing labour strike, as turning back or rerouting to alternative destinations is impractical.
