LOCAL INSIGHT
Baltimore's port and Hopkins carry much of the city's business
Maryland reported 2,223 cargo vessel visits at the Port of Baltimore in 2025, a record and 21 percent above 2024. Seagirt Marine Terminal handled a record 1,113,309 containers, and in 2024 the port ranked second nationally for autos and light trucks. The state counts about 20,300 direct jobs and more than 273,000 statewide jobs linked to the port. Trucking, warehouse, customs and parts businesses around it win work from buyers who search for them.
Johns Hopkins is described as the city's largest employer. Its HopkinsLocal program aims to raise the share of entry level hires from targeted Baltimore communities from 26 percent to 40 percent and to steer construction spending to local, minority and women owned businesses. Small firms that want that spending need to look established the moment a buyer checks them. A $518 million CSX Howard Street Tunnel project, due to finish in 2026, is projected to add about 160,000 containers a year.
Rankwyre builds web apps and CRMs for freight and logistics companies that handle cargo through Seagirt and other terminals, and websites for contractors and suppliers bidding on institutional work.
