Plaquemines Port and APM Terminals have announced an agreement to work together to discuss the future design of the Plaquemines Port Harbor and Terminal District (PPHTD), including the consideration of APM Terminals as the future terminal operator, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The facility is in the early stages of development as a deep water, multi-modal, state-of- the-art container terminal in Plaquemines Parish.
