About Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore, with a metropolitan population exceeding 2.8 million, is a major East Coast trade gateway anchored by the Port of Baltimore. Its intermodal network connects directly to Class I railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern, along with interstate highways, enabling efficient inland distribution.

The port handles imports such as [cars](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/automotive), [construction equipment](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-the-farming--agriculture-industry), sugar, and furniture, and exports a wide range of goods including coal, agricultural products, and [machinery](https://www.eveoncontainers.com/en-US/industries/shipping-containers-for-manufacturing--eveon-containers), with strong trade ties to Europe, South America, and Asia.
