Ceres expands Baltimore ro-ro terminal
Ceres Terminals signed a lease for 12 additional acres at the Port of Baltimore’s Dundalk Marine Terminal, the Maryland Port Administration said Thursday.
Ceres, which already leases five acres at Dundalk from the MPA, will use the new acreage to attract new roll-on, roll-off and breakbulk business. The increased acreage also will allow Ceres to offer marine terminal services to its customers under its Ceres Marine Terminal subsidiary.
With the signing of this lease, Hoegh Autoliners has moved its vessel calls in its European service to Dundalk and will have Ceres handle its ro-ro cargo. Ceres Marine Terminals also will handle ro-ro and breakbulk cargo for “K” Line’s South America-Mideast service vessels and NYK Line’s South America-Europe-Middle East service vessels.
“This agreement will further strengthen our top U.S. market share for roll-on, roll-off cargo,” MPA Executive Director James J. White said. “Ceres handles many of the world’s top roll-on, roll-off shipping lines, and we welcome their increased presence at our port.”
