In assessing February, 2022 containerized cargo volumes over February, 2021 volumes, containers rose 33%, refrigerated containers rose 80.9%, and rail intermodal transfers rose 148.2%.
Continued port investment through 2025 will expand the port’s container intermodal capacity in one of the nation’s fastest growth gateways. The port and port stakeholders invested $124 million in the container terminal and in refrigerated cargo facilities in 2020. New investments in intermodal and freight infrastructure will be made, thanks to millions in federal grants.
