About Baltimore
Baltimore sits further up Chesapeake Bay than the other East Coast gateways, which puts it closer to the Midwest by road than its neighbours and adds a bay transit at the sea end. It handles containers alongside a very large roll-on/roll-off and vehicle trade. The inland position is the reason to choose it: for cargo going west, the road leg is shorter from here.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Baltimore — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 12–18 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
