摘要：	The Port of Baltimore is experiencing a season of rapid growth and surging cargo volumes. As massive backlogs at other ports are impacting the nation's supply chain, the Port of Baltimore is taking on diverted ships as traffic continues to flow smoothly at its many harbor facilities. Ranked 11th among major U.S. ports for foreign cargo and 10th for total foreign cargo value, the Port of Baltimore's ability to accommodate increasing volumes of container shipments come from years of preparation and a large investment in Port efficiency. With tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure improvements in the works, dredging to increase capacity is a key part of the strategic plan to keep commerce moving freely at the Port. In April 2021, a 50-foot deep container berth at its Seagirt Terminal was completed, supporting business expansion at the Port and generating thousands of jobs. The expansion doubled the terminal's ability to receive ultra-large ships. This was critical to the accommodation of East Coast commerce, while bottlenecks stifled movement at other ports across the nation.
