The cars will be manufactured at FCA’s plants in the Midwest and Ontario, Canada, and transported to Delaware by train, where Autoport will prepare them for export. Autoport expects to handle an array of Chyrsler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles. The vehicles will be transported on board pure car and truck carriers operated by Liberty Global Logistics and Hoegh Autoliners, which both regularly call at Wilmington.
The new contract, which took effect March 1, is expected to see its first shipment for export by mid- to late March, the port authority said.
Established in 1981, Autoport is a privately held company with property totaling 102 acres both on and adjacent to the Port of Wilmington.
