Our "Green Team" volunteers were out in full force helping to Keep The Lakes Great at Edgewater Beach in Cleveland, Ohio. #WeAreWorldGroup
📸 Sharing pictures from Keep The Lakes Great's Edgewater Beach Clean-Up Event! 🌊 Together we picked up 43 lbs. of trash! I was surprised that most of the trash were microplastics; Plastics less than 5 mm in size - harmful to the aquatic life and ecosystem. 🙏 Thank you to the World Group "Green Team" volunteers (and their families!) that came out to contribute your time and effort. #CommunityEngagement #WeAreWorldGroup #WGGreenTeam #LakeErieCleanUp

The recent collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has disrupted supply chains in the Mid-Atlantic region, severing a vital link to the bustling Port of Baltimore. Our team of experts from across the supply chain – from ocean freight to drayage to transloading – shares insights for shippers navigating rerouting their cargo during this challenging situation.

Navigating the Francis Scott Key Bridge Fallout

Our hearts go out to all those involved in and affected by the tragedy that occurred at Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. We are deeply saddened by this disaster, which will no doubt impact supply chain operations for the weeks to come. The loss of the Key bridge will be a complex challenge, with freight needing to be rerouted locally and across the Eastern seaboard. We are in this together, as our brand ContainerPort Group operates a drayage terminal in Baltimore. Our staff, who thankfully are all safe, are working diligently as we navigate this situation and are prepared to help reroute and transfer containers as needed. If you’re in need of additional logistics support in the Mid-Atlantic region, here’s how we can help: - On the drayage front, we have allocated capacity across Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Norfolk to seamlessly address inbound and outbound container disruptions at the Port of Baltimore. - If you need to reroute your cargo to Norfolk or NY/NJ, transloading services can quickly get your freight back to Baltimore or further inland to your end customers. Our distribution centers in both locations can assist. - If you have freight overseas or need to send freight overseas, and you currently route through Baltimore, we can explore a range of alternative air and ocean freight solutions. Together, we can overcome these hurdles and keep your operations running smoothly. Should you need support, guidance or have any questions, please reach out to your account manager or sales rep. We are here to help!

🌟Special Visit at World Group HQ! 🌟 When I asked the boys where they wanted to go for Spring Break - they wanted to go to Cleveland to “see where Mom works.” Their excitement and curiosity reminded me of why our core value, “We Are Family,” is so important. At World Group, we believe in fostering an environment where everyone feels like part of the family. A big thank you to all my wonderful coworkers who took time to welcome them to the building! #companyculture #specialmoments #whenigrowup #corevalues
