The Alabama Port Authority set a new benchmark in July, moving more cargo containers than ever before, and port officials say that Mobile’s performance in an era of supply chain turmoil is being noticed.
Over the last decade, the Port Authority and APM Terminals, which operates the container terminal in Mobile, have steadily expanded the Mobile terminal, making it one of the fastest growing in the nation. The Port Authority announced Aug. 15 that in July it broke 50,000 20-foot-equivalent units in a month for the first time since the container terminal opened in 2009.
