The Port of Baltimore handled 7.2 million tons of general cargo at its public marine terminas in the first nine months of 2012, up 10 percent from a year earlier, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley announced Friday.
The port moved nearly 30 million tons of foreign commerce in the January-September period, up 6 percent year-over-year.
The outlook for the port is positive because of continued cargo business success, a new 50-foot-deep container berth and new supersized cranes, O’Malley said.
