HOST TERMINALS FORMALLY ANNOUNCES 10-YEAR LICENSE AGREEMENT

Tradepoint Atlantic, a 3,100-acre multimodal global


logistics center in Baltimore, Maryland, that features an
unmatched combination of access to deepwater berths,
railroads, highways, and storage space announced on April
5th an exclusive, 10-year agreement with Host Terminals to
oversee the vast majority of marine cargo operations.
As part of the announcement, $30 million in combined
investment toward infrastructure improvements will also
be made to the site. This will further Tradepoint Atlantic’s
ability to generate a projected 17,000 direct and indirect
permanent jobs over the next decade as it enhances
Baltimore’s competitiveness as a key East Coast port for
global trade.
“Tradepoint Atlantic is excited to welcome and partner
with a leading expert in terminal operations,” said Joe Greco,
Vice President of Marine and Commercial Development.

“Since Host’s founding in 1923, many of the
fundamentals of moving bulk and break bulk cargo haven’t
changed,” says Host President and CEO Adam Anderson.
“Tradepoint Atlantic offers a unique solution to create
efficiencies in the supply chain by processing goods on-

customers. Our goal is to add value, whether it’s 50 acres
for a factory on-site, a storage warehouse, or a tank. With
Host’s expertise and our partners at Tradepoint Atlantic, we
can deliver those REAL solutions to the marketplace. It will
not only service the market in Baltimore, but will shift the
transportation paradigm for bulk and breakbulk cargoes to

GOOD CALL FOR A
REAL SOLUTION
Earlier this month, a Host Terminals employee realized
he couldn’t find his cell phone after trimming the holds of a
ship carrying wood pellets. This was a big deal, because wood
pellets are highly-flammable, and a cell phone could cause
major problems. Although the employee wasn’t supposed
to have his cell phone while working, he showed a lot of
integrity and notified his terminal manager that the phone
might be lost in the hold.
Host informed the customer immediately, and then
began an extensive team effort to look for the phone around
the terminal. When it wasn’t found, we decided it was likely in
the hold.
We knew we could discharge all the cargo, costing
thousands of dollars in time and product and causing a huge
inconvenience for our customer…or we could come up with
a REAL solution. That’s when Terminal Manager Jimmy Lusk
had the great idea to hire a ground radar company. They
scanned the ship the same day and pinpointed an area of the
cargo with abnormalities. Our team moved five feet of wood
pellets ….and found the phone!
“It was a great team effort,” said Jimmy Lusk. “I’m very
proud of the employee for having the integrity to do the
right thing and bring the problem to my attention.”
Host paid the demurrage to the client, so there were no
extra charges for the ship delay. We appreciate the staff’s
tireless efforts and dedication to our Core Principles of
integrity, relationships, and service.

On Easter Sunday, April 16 2017, our team at Eco Energy unloaded their one hundredth train since Host took over
operations. With 80 cars per train, they unloaded 8,000 rail cars (about 5.2 million barrels) in a year and a half, all without a
single injury.
We increased our throughput this year and the crew successfully maintained the new pace, moving from last year’s six
trains and four barges per month to this year’s ten trains and twelve barges.
“I’d like to thank the operators from our other locations for coming up to help out,” says Operations Manager Zac Kaye.
“Together, we were able to reach this milestone safely and efficiently.”
