印第安纳州港口开设爱尔兰办事处,扩大贸易并支持新的直接集装箱航线到伯恩斯港. Ports of Indiana opens Irish office to expand trade and support new direct container route to Burns Harbor.

印第安纳港口在爱尔兰开设了第一家国际贸易办事处, 其总部位于科克和基尔代尔, 以促进货物运输并支持欧洲与印第亚纳之间新的直达集装箱服务. Ports of Indiana has opened its first international trade office in Ireland, based in Cork and Kildare, to boost cargo shipments and support a new direct container service between Europe and Indiana. 拥有近30年的海上贸易经验的资深人士布莱恩·杜利将领导该办公室, 他利用他在科克港的工作背景建立商业伙伴关系. Brian Dooley, a maritime trade veteran with nearly 30 years of experience, will lead the office, leveraging his background at the Port of Cork to build trade partnerships. 爱尔兰在2024年向印第安纳州运送的商品价值324亿美元, 比其他任何国家都多. 但大多数没有使用印第亚纳州的港口. In 2024, Ireland shipped $32.4 billion in goods to Indiana—more than any other country—yet most did not use Indiana’s ports. 该计划支持密歇根湖即将建成的伯恩斯港集装箱码头,该码头将于2026年晚些时候开始试运输,为芝加哥大都市区提供唯一直接的海洋集装柜航线. The initiative supports the upcoming Burns Harbor Container Terminal on Lake Michigan, which will begin trial shipments later in 2026, offering the only direct ocean container route into the Chicago metropolitan area. 港口管理局每年经营3个跨越2800英的港口, 每年处理5000万货物. 该机构正在以1亿美元投资扩大内陆港务系统, 并与科克港和安特卫普-布鲁日港合作改善连接性. The port authority, which operates three ports across 2,800 acres and handles 50 million tons of cargo annually, is expanding its inland port system with a $100 million investment and has partnered with the Port of Cork and Port of Antwerp-Bruges to improve connectivity.
