Port of Mobile receives new container depot
Marino Group’s Marine Repair Services-Container Maintenance Corporation (MRS-CMC) has opened an almost 140,000 sqm large container depot in Port of Mobile, Alabama (USA). The new facility provides container maintenance and repair, loaded and empty container storage, warehousing, chassis start-stop and repairs, grounded temperature-controlled unit pre-trips and genset rental programmes.
In the last decade, the port has experienced double-digit growth every year. Recent statistics indicate that for 2022, there was an 11% increase in container throughput.
The depot is conveniently situated less than 1.6 km from the marine terminals and complements terminal capacity issues. To meet the needs of the trades in the region, the new depot includes load lifts, empty handlers, a chassis stacker and downstacker and reefer plugs. (ben)
