MARYLAND PORT ADMINISTRATION Joseph L. Stanton, Port Administrator W. G. Halpin, Deputy Port Administrator Dr. Walter C. Boyer, Deputy Port Administrator Donald Klein, Director, Port Promotion and Public Information Officer Pier 2, Pratt Street, Baltimore 21202 Telephone: 383-5700 The Maryland Port Administration was created on July 1, 1971, as a part of the Maryland Department of Transportation, succeeding the Maryland Port Authority, a semi-autonomous State agency estab- lished by Chapter 2, Acts of the Special Session of 1956. It adopted its present name by Chapter 526, Acts of 1970, which provided for the transfer of the rights, duties, powers and obligations of the Authority to the Administration. Not included are those powers and duties which were transferred to the Maryland Transportation Authority. The former Executive Director of the Authority was appointed the Mary- land Port Administrator and serves at the pleasure of the Secretary of Transportation. The Administration endeavors to promote and increase commerce within its territorial jurisdiction through public relations programs, publication of literature, purchase of advertising, solicitation of busi- ness by correspondence and traveling representatives, and participa- tion in, and cooperation with, civic, technical, professional, and busi- ness organizations and associations. To this end, the Administration maintains field offices in Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York, Brussels, Belgium, London, England, Tokyo, Japan, and Hong Kong as well as in Baltimore. When the Administration's predecessor agency was created in 1966, the primary objective of the General Assembly was to improve the facilities and strengthen the workings of the private operator. If private facilities were inadequate, however, or inadequately operated at any time, the Authority was empowered to construct, and if neces- sary operate, supplementary public facilities (Code 1957, 1968 Repl. Vol. 1972 Supp., Art. 62B). This power was transferred to the Ad- ministration in 1970. From 1956 through fiscal year 1973, the Maryland Port Administra- tion has invested some $108,000,000 in modernizing and constructing international general cargo facilities in the port of Baltimore, and expended another $2,000,000 in new port facilities at Cambridge and Crisfield on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In Baltimore during this period, twenty-four new or completely rebuilt deep water berths have been provided; thirteen high-speed, heavy load cranes have been placed in operation, along with the rebuilding of two medium-load cranes; nine large, clear-span, modern transit and consolidation cargo sheds |
