Miami-based Seaboard Marine is to start a new service linking Wilmington, NC, with ports in Central America.

Gulftainer will invest up to $600M at the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, including a new 1.2M TEU container terminal.

Economic growth has lifted container volumes across the largest US container ports on all three coasts.

Many US ports performed very well in 2016, but there is considerable uncertainty about what lies ahead in the Trump era.

CSX Intermodal is moving forward with a new intermodal terminal in North Carolina (NC), where it will build a new facility at Rocky Mount. The US$270M terminal will be known as the “Carolina Connector” (or CCX) and will serve as a major rail hub for the Southeast, connecting eastern North Carolina to the CSX Network.

The Port of Wilmington (DE), located at the confluence of the Delaware and Christina Rivers, and owned and operated by the Diamond State Port Corporation (DSPC), has placed an order with Kocks Krane GmbH, a member of Kranunion GmbH of Germany, for two Panamax “Boxer” multipurpose STS gantry cranes. Both Dole and Chiquita have entered into new long-term contracts with DSPC to call at Wilmington, and this was a primary reason for ordering the new cranes.
