## Project summary

The announcement dated 28 October 2025 describes a planned new container berth at the Port of Mobile, Alabama, at the southern end of the existing terminal. The announced scope is a 1,300-foot (~400-meter) berth, with a stated 50% capacity increase to enable three ultra-large container vessels to be handled simultaneously. The release reports a $131 million project amount, funded by federal appropriations to the Port Authority and enhanced by private investment from APM Terminals. Construction was expected to begin in 2026, with completion targeted 24 months after groundbreaking; these are announced expectations, not confirmation of completed milestones.
