Since becoming the port of entry for
the first Volkswagen Beetle in 1963, the Port of Baltimore has delivered top-
rate automobile service and handling capabilities. Each vehicle receives the utmost care — from ship to processing facility and dealer delivery. The Port of Baltimore’s Quality Cargo Handling Action Team (QCHAT) program is recognized worldwide as the most successful port-wide quality care program in the country. The QCHAT group meets monthly and includes all segments of vehicle handling and auto manufacturers. Major improvements in quality vehicle handling have resulted in reduced damage and advanced training programs.
