The Maryland Port Authority, a semi-autonomous State agency,
was established by Chapter 2, Acts of the Special Session of 1956.

The Authority consists of five commissioners appointed by the Gov-
ernor for five-year terms, one term expiring each year. Three of the
five members must at all times be residents of Anne Arundel County,
Baltimore City, and Baltimore County respectively. Of the other two,
one must be a resident of the Western Shore of Maryland outside of
Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County, and one
must be a resident of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The Governor
designates one of the members to act as Chairman, and the members
of the Authority annually elect one of its members as Vice Chairman.

The Commissioners appoint the Executive Director, who exercises
such administrative powers as they delegate.

In creating the Maryland Port Authority, the primary objective of
the General Assembly was to improve the facilities and strengthen
the workings of the private operator. If private facilities are inade-
quate, however, or inadequately operated at any time, the Authority
may construct, and if necessary, operate supplementary public facili-
ties (Code 1957, Art. 62B).

The Authority endeavors to promote and increase commerce within
its territorial jurisdiction through public relations programs, publica-
tion of literature, purchase of advertising, solicitation of business by
correspondence and traveling representatives, and participation in,
and cooperation with, civic, technical, professional, and business organ-
izations and association. To this end, the Authority currently main-
tains field offices in Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York, Brussels, Bel-
gium, and London, England.
