International Marine Terminal to expand
“State officials plan to expand Portland’s shipping-container terminal, doubling its size and providing a direct link to a Pan Am rail line, which stands to lower shipping costs for commercial customers.
The Portland Press Herald reported the expansion of the International Marine Terminal would give the port where Icelandic shipping company Eimskip now operates direct rail access for the first time in 50 years. Larus Isfeld, managing director of Eimskip USA, told the newspaper that the company views rail access as a necessity for long-term growth.”
