The Industrial Development Board in Mobile, Alabama, recently approved a $58.6 million investment by APM Terminals Mobile, in coordination with the Alabama Port Authority, for the Port of Mobile's intermodal container transfer facility (ICTF) expansion.

The approval of the capital investment allows construction to move forward, according to a report by the BusinessView.com, a website operated by the Mobile Chamber of Commerce.

The ICTF expansion will add two 3,000-foot working tracks and two cantilever rail mounted gantry cranes. These upgrades will expand capacity and efficiency of the existing facility. Construction is underway and anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026, the BusinessView.com reported.

"APM Terminals Mobile is proud to support the expansion of the intermodal rail facility, which marks a significant step forward in strengthening the Port of Mobile's connectivity," said Brian Harold, managing director of APM Terminals Mobile.

APM Terminals' investment builds on the port authority's ongoing program of state- and federally funded capital improvements at the Port of Mobile, including a channel deepening and widening project, a container terminal expansion, a new intermodal container transfer facility at Montgomery and a berth expansion.

The ICTF is served by Norfolk Southern Railway, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, CSX, CN and BNSF Railway Co., as well as four short line railroads, including the port's own switching railroad.
