FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“ILTA applauds President Trump for both highlighting the importance of infrastructure to the U.S. economy and his efforts to put infrastructure legislation back in the spotlight. We urge Congress to take up this critical legislation.

“We want to remind both Congress and the administration of the importance of maintaining and improving marine infrastructure – such as ports and harbors. Our ports are uniquely important to America’s transportation infrastructure. They are responsible for over $4 trillion in annual economic activity. Maintaining America’s ports requires investment—to develop, maintain and expand.

“ILTA’s members provide storage and logistics for a wide range of liquid commodities, including crude oil, refined petroleum products, chemicals, biofuels, fertilizers and vegetable oils and other food-grade liquids. Terminals provide essential services linking transportation modes together and are in fact a key component of our transportation infrastructure overall. Terminals make it possible for products to move between harbors and ports, pipelines, barges, rail and trucks – enabling trade within the United States and connecting the U.S. economy to overseas markets.”
