Delaware's Port of Wilmington has made progress on its container terminal project after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers granted a crucial exception, allowing the state to bypass a requirement from the Port of Philadelphia.

This decision enables the pursuit of construction permits for a new port at a former chemical site, with the project expected to create thousands of jobs and supported by substantial taxpayer funding. The initiative follows previous legal challenges and the transition to a new operator, Enstructure, after the former operator, Gulftainer, failed to meet financial expectations.
