This past Thursday, April 16th, Maersk Line announced that the Transatlantic (TA2) line will now be making weekly calls at the new Mobile Container Terminal. This same line offers shipping to Northern Europe, UK/Ireland, Scandinavian and Baltic destinations as well.
Mobile’s Container Terminal, which was a $300 million project, began operations October 2nd and is expected to handle approximately 150,000 units each year. The director of the Alabama State Port Authority, Jimmy Lyons, indicated that the new service was a ‘positive sign for the long-term success of the terminal.’ This new route for the Transatlantic is expected to save companies a lot of money that had hitherto had to go to the East Coast or New Orleans for service to Europe.
