Dedicate New Container

Terminal In Boston

The Port of Boston's newest maritime facility—an $18-million container terminal — was dedi- cated recently. Massport's execu- tive director David W. Davis, and port director Martin C. Pilsch Jr. officiated at the ceremony.

The two-crane container facil- ity expands the service at Mass- port's Paul W. Conley Marine

Terminal, known formerly as the

Castle Island Terminal, in South

Boston. The 105-acre Conley Ter- minal is a major terminal for the discharge of general cargo—spe- cifically lumber, automobiles and steel.

The new facility at berth 11 within the Conley Terminal in- cludes two 40-long-ton, low-pro- file Paceco cranes; a 1,000-foot marginal wharf; and an initial 10 acres — potential development of 30 acres — of support area for wheeled storage. It will handle 20,000 boxes annually and in- crease the Port's handling capac- ity by 50 percent.

Executive director Davis noted that this was the first major mar- itime facility to be built in Boston in nearly a decade. "The develop- ment of new service facilities is critical to the Port's continuing economic growth,M said Mr. Davis. "Massport believes in the future of the working seaport, and therefore is making a substan- tial investment in both new and existing facilities."

The container facility is the first development in Massport's $114-million seaport expansion program to be ready for service.

The program includes the $16- million renovation of the Boston

Fish Pier, the construction of the $80-million multipurpose Mass- port Marine Terminal, and the re- use of non-operational port prop- erties such as Hoosac Pier and the

East Boston Piers.

The Conley Terminal container facility will be operated by a pri- vate terminal operator.
