Operating since 2008, APM Terminals Mobile offers an improved option in the US Gulf for reaching Midwest markets, rapidly growing Southeast markets, as well as Alabama and neighbouring states. Transit times between Asia and US inlands are comparable via Mobile routing for those customers looking to add to their gateway supply chain options.
Five class-I railroads operate adjacent to APM Terminals Mobile, ensuring fast, affordable supply chains from the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) delivering strong end-to-end supply chains to the US Midwest and central Canada, serving Memphis, Decatur, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal destinations.
Major companies already in Alabama are Hyundai, AM/NS Calvert, Outokumpu, Northrop Grumman, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Airbus, Amazon, Walmart, Bombardier and BendPak who have selected the APM Terminals Mobile and the state of Alabama as a hub for global logistics supply and distribution as well as manufacturing.
California-based BendPak recently opened a new distribution center 11 miles from APM Terminals Mobile and is able deliver products same-day or next-day to more customers in the eastern half of the country.
APM Terminals Mobile has an average waiting time to enter the terminal for truckers of seven minutes with a total turn time of 51 minutes once in the terminal.
81% of the truck moves at APM Terminals Mobile are dual moves (where a trucker is bringing in a container for dropoff and picking up a container for delivery) which generates optimal supply chain flow.
Another feature enhancing Mobile’s attractiveness for supply chain growth is the port’s ability to withstand hurricanes through its modern infrastructure. APM Terminals Mobile is designed to withstand powerful hurricanes, following Hurricane Katrina’s impact on Gulf Ports in 2005. Equally important, Mobile Bay creates a protected barrier to the US Gulf’s open water forces. The port is also less prone to fog conditions.
APM Terminals Mobile is a world-class, high productivity terminal located in the Port of Mobile, with three interstate highways and a cargo airport near the port for Sea-Air and e-commerce needs. The intermodal rail terminal includes two operating tracks, a loop track, and 914m car repair track and provides access to five class-I railroads for inland supply chains
With a draft of 13.7m, a turning basin to accommodate vessels of up to 1,300 feet in length, and equipped with Super Post Panamax Ship to Shore Cranes with a maximum reach of 22 container rows, the terminal can handle vessels up to 14,000 TEU capacity. This meets the new “Panamax” limit of the expanded Panama Canal locks.
The terminal offers 24/7 access to ships with a wider, deeper harbor and multiple start times (10 options) for faster vessel operations. This enables us to speed urgent cargo to local distribution centers or get ships back on track if they are behind schedule.
For refrigerated cargoes, a world-class, new refrigerated warehouse is being built to enhance the port’s cold chain distribution center attractiveness. MTC Refrigerated Warehouse will open in January 2021 to serve international supply chains with the most modern refrigerated technology and capacity for the future growth of cold chains.
APM Terminals Mobile has growth ambitions to become a 1.5 million TEU port (2019 volume was 419,000 TEU). The infrastructure is ready – with an expanding truck gate in 2020 to handle growing container volumes. This comes on the heels of the container berth expansion in March 2020 and a November 2019 container yard expansion.
Sustainable investments include a new fleet of 15 electric cars, replacing gasoline-powered vehicles – and the installation of LED lighting throughout the terminal. These initiatives recently won an environmental award from the Partner’s for Environmental Progress organization.
The Alabama State Port Authority (ASPA) will be deepening the Mobile harbor to 15.2m starting in 2021 to accommodate the largest vessels in the global fleet and ensure the port’s future logistics competitiveness.
Land is available close to the Port to grow manufacturing and distribution centres. To fuel economic expansion, the Alabama Renewal Act allows companies with 75+ employees to get up to $3 million in tax deferral credits. Other business incentives include tax credits for cargo owners on incremental cargo volumes.
Land is plentiful and open for investment with two logistics parks currently in operation and more to come. Foreign Trade Zone status in many designated locations near the port and business parks also increase the attractiveness of businesses looking for a new distribution center or manufacturing site.
