What Crew Members Say About Amazoneborg

On December 10, 2018, the Port of Wilmington, Delaware, proudly welcomed its first shipment of SSAB/Swedish Steel products for the winter season. The geared bulker, M.V. Amazoneborg, signifies a remarkable 13th consecutive year of Swedish Steel utilizing Wilmington as a strategic hub for its premium steel offerings, which include high-quality steel plate, cold rolled steel sheets in coils, and hot rolled steel sheets in coils. This logistical move through GT USA Wilmington's facility enables seamless supply to Midwestern clients typically served via Great Lakes ports. As the Great Lakes navigate through winter shutdowns, shipments redirect to the Port from December to March. The M.V. Amazoneborg arrived carrying over 11,600 tons of steel plate and coils, serving as the first of eight anticipated deliveries to Wilmington for the 2018-19 shipping season.
