Port of Baltimore to ink new shipping deal with Evergreen Marine Corp.
Evergreen Marine Corp., one of the Port of Baltimore's largest container shippers, has signed a deal to add another decade to its history of more than 30 years here.
The new contract will become effective in October and extend until 2018, MPA spokesman Richard Scher said. It furthers the company's commitment to carry 40,000 containers to and from Baltimore each year. Over the last seven years, Evergreen's business has more than doubled, growing 126 percent, according to the MPA.
Evergreen is the second-longest serving container customer and second-highest revenue producer at the Maryland Port Administration's publicly owned terminals, according to the MPA. It has had a presence at the port since 1975, Scher said.
Gov. Martin O'Malley and Transportation Secretary John Porcari will hold a deal-signing ceremony with Evergreen officials Wednesday morning at Seagirt Marine Terminal in Dundalk.
