At the Port of Baltimore, our cargo diversity means no 2 days are ever the same.

Just today, our hardworking International Longshoremen's Association workforce handled a mix of cargoβ€”farm & construction equipment & breakbulk cargoβ€”all from a single ship! Whatever the cargo, Baltimore can handle it.
