Mobile port's Phase 3 expansion

MOBILE, Ala. – Alabama’s seaport modernization program continues to complete significant milestones to meet shipper demand and accommodate larger vessels. The Alabama State Port Authority completed its 400-foot container dock extension at the APM Terminals facility March 20. Three days later, for the first time, the terminal handled two container ships at the expanded berth, which now enables two 8,000-to-10,000 TEUs be handled simultaneously. The quay extension was part of a $50M Phase 3 expansion that increased terminal capacity and productivity at the 10-year old APM Terminals’ intermodal container complex at the Port of Mobile.
