☘️ What better day than St. Patrick's Day to announce our new home in Ireland? ☘️ Ports of Indiana has officially opened its first European Trade Office in Ireland — and we couldn't be more excited about what's ahead. Leading the charge is maritime veteran Brian Dooley, who brings nearly 30 years of experience in ports, logistics, and business development, including five years at the Port of Cork. Brian will be our primary point of contact for European trade development as we build new partnerships and grow cargo connections between Indiana and Europe. This milestone supports the launch of our container terminal at Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor on Lake Michigan — set to offer the only direct ocean container service into the greater Chicago market — and strengthens our existing partnership with Port of Cork and Port of Antwerp-Bruges. #PortsofIndiana #Ireland #MaritimeTrade #GreatLakes #StPatricksDay #Logistics #TradeGrowth
