Baltimore ranked No 1 in US for container berth productivity
THE Port of Baltimore ranked number one among US ports for container berth productivity, having scored 84 container moves per berth hour ahead of all major US ports.
The JOC port productivity numbers were compiled by international shipping lines not by individual ports or marine terminals, according Newark's Journal of Commerce.
Combining both the public and private marine terminals, the Port of Baltimore had a record year in 2014 and saw 29.5 million tons of international cargo cross its docks last year at a value of nearly $53 billion.
"Being recognised as the most productive port in the nation clearly puts us in a very good position for continued growth and success," said Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.
"The international shipping industry has taken notice with the Port now home to the four largest container shipping companies in the world - Maersk, MSC, CMA-CGM and Evergreen. When the Port of Baltimore succeeds, Maryland succeeds," he said.
The port productivity rankings factored in elements such as a ship's arrival time at a berth, the number of container moves per hour at that berth and a ship's departure time from that berth
