   Sparrows Point Terminal, the owners of the large Sparrows Point industrial property located near the Port of Baltimore, has been renamed Tradepoint Atlantic.
   “As we make the transition from a local industrial powerhouse to a global transportation and logistics center, our new identity will help us build a global brand for a global economy,” said Michael Moore, chief executive officer of Tradepoint Atlantic, in a statement Tuesday.
   The 3,100-acre transportation and logistics hub is being built on the grounds of the former Bethlehem Steel Mill. The site offers access to a deepwater port, a turning basin, and a 1,150-foot pier immediately capable of accommodating heavy commodities. Further, the site has 100 miles of on-site track and connections to Class I railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern, as well as direct connections with two interstate highways.
   More details about the history and development of the transportation and logistics hub are available in the October 2015 American Shipper feature article, “Recast for logistics.”
