Federal approval has cleared the way for a massive new shipping facility along Delaware’s waterfront. Governor Matt Meyer revealed that the Department of the Army has granted necessary permits for the Delaware Container Terminal project in Edgemoor.
The permits enable the Diamond State Port Corporation and their private partner Enstructure to move forward with dock construction and river dredging work. The new facility will be located along the Delaware River, positioned three miles northeast of the existing Port Wilmington.
Once completed, the cutting-edge container facility is designed to process up to 1.2 million TEUs of cargo shipments annually. Project leaders expect the development to generate employment opportunities spanning numerous sectors while boosting Delaware’s position in maritime commerce.
