The Alabama State Port Authority’s board of directors has approved two measures that advance the development of the port’s new intermodal container transfer facility.
The board authorized $11.5 million for the construction, inspection and testing of a rail access bridge into the intermodal rail facility. The ICTF will service import and export cargoes moving through APM Terminals Mobile, as well as domestic cargoes.
The second measure extended Moffatt & Nichol’s engineering and program management through fiscal year 2013 for key components within the port authority’s Choctaw Point project, including the ICTF, site development work at APM Terminals Phase II container terminal expansion and the north tract of the affiliated logistics park.
