With 13 berths, 4 container cranes, and direct rail access, the 570-acre (230 ha) Dundalk Marine Terminal remains the largest and most versatile general cargo facility at the Port of Baltimore.Containers. Automobiles. Farm, construction and other Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro/Ro) equipment. Wood pulp. Steel. Breakbulk. Project cargo. If it moves on a vessel, Dundalk can handle it.Baltimore's proximity to the Midwest's major farm and construction equipment manufacturers has helped the Port become the leading U.S. port for combines, tractors and hay balers, and in importing excavators and backhoes.Reaffirming our position as the top U.S. Ro/Ro port, Baltimore recently signed a 20-year, 150-acre agreement to serve as the East Coast hub for the largest Ro/Ro carrier in the world, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, with service from Dundalk Marine Terminal.
Over the past several years, Baltimore ranked as one of the nation's top three automobile-handling ports. Several auto processors maintain operations at Dundalk, which offers 225 acres of storage. Dundalk's direct rail access also allows unit trains to routinely deliver dozens of units of farm and/or construction equipment to the terminal at once. Combined with rail access provided by Norfolk Southern and CSXT, Dundalk's size makes it ideal for handling large breakbulk and project cargo.The terminal's expansive covered storage space can easily house weather-sensitive cargoes such as high-quality steel coils, raw rubber and wood pulp, one of the fastest-growing cargoes at the Port.
