INDIANAPOLIS – The American Metal Market has named Ports of Indiana the Logistics/Transportation Provider of the Year for 2018.
The ninth annual Awards for Steel Excellence were recently announced at AMM's Steel Awards dinner, held in conjunction with the global Steel Success Strategies XXXIII Conference in New York.
“This is an extraordinary honor for our ports,” said Vanta Coda, CEO for the Ports of Indiana. “This award further defines our ports' extensive experience with the steel industry, maritime operations, multimodal transportation and global supply chains. Indiana is the number one steel producer in the United States, and this award helps us illustrate what we can offer steel companies that are interested in building and growing their businesses.”
The Ports of Indiana operates three ports, two on the Ohio River and Burns Harbor on Lake Michigan, which is in the heart of the world's largest steel producing region.
The Ports of Indiana is completing $40 million in port expansions at its Burns Harbor and Jeffersonville facilities, and marketing a 500-acre mega site for steel developments at its Mount Vernon port. The organization is also considering building a new port on the Ohio River in Lawrenceburg that could further expand its services to steel customers.
The AMM is a trade publication for the global steel industry. The 2018 Awards for Steel Excellence recognize the highest achieving companies who embody best-in-class practices as measured by global standards. The 2018 award winners were selected from 53 finalists in 15 categories.
