Our Project - Sparrows Point Container Terminal

Sparrows Point Container Terminal

Sparrows Point Container Terminal is a proposed 330-acre redevelopment project within Sparrows Point, Maryland consisting of 165 acres for a new container terminal and intermodal yard, with an additional 165 acres for support facilities to enhance operations of the terminal.

This joint venture between Tradepoint Atlantic and Terminal Investment Limited (TiL) represents a major growth opportunity for the State of Maryland and the Baltimore region. The planned state of the art container terminal will expand the Baltimore service for MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) which will create thousands more port related jobs and dramatically enhance and support the long-term growth of the Port of Baltimore and the State of Maryland.

Proposed NEPA Process

For a project of this scope to move forward permits from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Maryland Department of the Environment are required. Before the permits can be issued, the US Army Corps of Engineers will complete an evaluation to ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The NEPA requires public involvement to review the proposed project and offer comment.

SPCT will support this extensive review process, conducting detailed studies, and facilitating regular interaction with regulatory agencies, community stakeholders, and the public. We take this process and our responsibility to be active stewards of the environment very seriously and will provide timely updates to the public as this moves forward.
