US: SESCO Cement has welcomed the first two ships carrying bulk grey cement to its import terminal at Port Redwing in Tampa, marking the start of full commercial operations. The ships’ arrival comes after the company celebrated the terminal’s opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony in June 2026. Each vessel will make a partial discharge at the terminal before continuing to SESCO’s Houston terminal to complete delivery. The dual-port route links the company’s Florida and Texas operations and gives the company added capacity and flexibility to meet demand. The terminal features a custom-designed ship unloader and conveyor system, which moves bulk cement from the ship’s hold directly into SESCO’s storage silos. The unloader arrived in Tampa earlier in 2026 after nearly two years of engineering work.
