DP World plots US port comeback with Corpus Christi container terminal

Global terminal operator DP World has taken another step toward returning to U. S. port operations two decades after a proposed takeover of terminals at several major American ports raised concerns over national security. The Port of Corpus Christi, Texas, has signed a lease option agreement with Dubai-based DP World to develop a container terminal capable of eventually handling about 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units annually, according to a port official. “We’ve signed a lease option agreement with DP World for a development … of a container terminal in the Port,” Jeffrey Pollack, chief strategy and sustainability officer for the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, told the American Journal of Transportation during the American Association of Port Authorities annual convention in New Orleans on Sept.
