It?s pretty smooth sailing right now at the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore. In a historic moment, the Maryland Port Administration received the Presidential “E” Award for excellence in exporting during a ceremony at the White House late last week. Recognized for its accomplishments over the past few years, the MPA became just the 23rd port organization out of 361 in the United States. to win the award.

Baltimore is one of only four portsto win the award twice. The MPA previously won the award in 1964.
