A TIMELINE OF THEN AND NOW

Pier48 started in 2012.

Our start was unloading coil • Approximately 2 barges a month was the average throughput.

With a agreement Pier48 took out a loan and purchased two clamshell buckets and materials to start offloading bulk materials.

Since the beginning pier48 has peaked with some months offloading up to 32 and 35 barges.

And this was done with the overhead bridge Crane. Working 6 to 7 days a week and as much as three straight weeks in a row. A lot of days working 14 to 16 hours and on one day we actually worked 20 hours. At this point the projections from Cimbar was to offload 20 barges per month alone.

This amount of business created the opportunity to expand.
