Ports America

Yesterday, President Biden visited the Port of Baltimore to announce $147 million in federal funding for the Maryland Port Administration via the Clean Ports Program. This EPA funding will support Ports America Chesapeake’s major ongoing sustainability upgrades at Seagirt Marine Terminal as well as the transition of terminal tractors from diesel to electric. This is a huge step forward for the Port of Baltimore and our strides towards net zero emissions!

On September 18th, Ports America Galveston hosted a port tour for 20 students from local Ball high school. They started in the office learning about our day to day operations and career opportunities. Then each donned a Ports America vest and received a “swag  bag”. Observing an active ship operation was especially exciting!

Our team had another fantastic time at Breakbulk Events & Media in Houston! It was a privilege to connect with industry leaders, partners, and clients, discussing the future of marine terminal operations and supply chain logistics. A big thank you to everyone who visited our booth and made this event a success. We look forward to building on these connections and continuing to drive forward the industry. #Breakbulk #OnePortsAmerica

On 9/20, Ports America in New Orleans completed its third annual oyster reef build with the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. CRCL has been running its oyster shell recycling program for 10 years now, collecting recycled oyster shells from local restaurants and constructing reefs at carefully selected sites to protect the coastline from erosion. Each year, the state of Louisiana loses about 25,000 acres of coastal land to erosion due to wave action and sea level rise, so restoration projects like these are critically important. This year’s reef site was at the Grand Bayou Indian Village in Plaquemines, Paris, Louisiana. Volunteers from the New Orleans site coordinated the loadout and trucking of over 200 tons of oyster shells down to the Grand Bayou site. Then, along with CRCL staff and a group of volunteers, Ports America employees placed these shells along the banks of the bayou to create a new “living shoreline,” which will protect the ancestral lands of the Grand Bayou tribe for years to come. #OnePortsAmerica #RestoretheShore
