Port of Wilmington Reefer Racks
The Challenge, The Solution, The Results
The Port of Wilmington has been in service for 99 years, and imports more fresh fruit and juice than any other port in North America. In 2019, the Port upgraded its handling equipment, requiring upgraded storage racks. The first phase of supporting the new cargo handling equipment includes the construction of 14 new multi-level reefer racks.
These racks can hold up to 168 cargo containers at a time, which is vital to one of the largest ports on the east coast. With over 700 tons of structural steel holding cargo containers, the project owner can rest assured knowing that the racks will offer corrosion protection for 80+ years due to the cathodic nature of the galvanizing. In addition to corrosion protection, coating durability was also a factor when choosing HDG, as there will be much movement on and around the racks.
