Massport's execu- tive director David W. Davis, and port director Martin C. Pilsch Jr. officiated at the ceremony. The two-crane container facil- ity expands the service at Mass- port's Paul W. Conley Marine Terminal, known formerly as the Castle Island Terminal, in South Boston. The 105-acre Conley Ter- minal is a major terminal for the discharge of general cargo—spe- cifically lumber, automobiles and steel. The new facility at berth 11 within the Conley Terminal in- cludes two 40-long-ton, low-pro- file Paceco cranes; a 1,000-foot marginal wharf; and an initial 10 acres — potential development of 30 acres — of support area for wheeled storage. It will handle 20,000 boxes annually and in- crease the Port's handling capac- ity by 50 percent. Executive director Davis noted that this was the first major mar- itime facility to be built in Boston in nearly a decade. "The develop- ment of new service facilities is critical to the Port's continuing economic growth,M said Mr. Davis. "Massport believes in the future of the working seaport, and therefore is making a substan- tial investment in both new and existing facilities." The container facility is the first development in Massport's $114-million seaport expansion program to be ready for service. The program includes the $16- million renovation of the Boston Fish Pier, the construction of the $80-million multipurpose Mass- port Marine Terminal, and the re- use of non-operational port prop- erties such as Hoosac Pier and the East Boston Piers. The Conley Terminal container facility will be operated by a pri- vate terminal operator. WITH ATLAS-ONE SCREEN IS ALL YOU NEED. November 1, 1981 Write 1411 on Reader Service Card 31
