The Department of Transportation Maritime Administration awarded Diamond State Port Corporation, a State of Delaware entity, $161,271,874 on May 26, 2026, under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) to construct a fully electric container yard at the Port of Wilmington Delaware Container Terminal in Edgemoor, Delaware.

Diamond State Port Corporation has designated Enstructure DCT LLC as the subrecipient to execute the entire project. Work encompasses planning, engineering design, and project administration through final design and construction oversight; container yard site clearing, demolition, and preparation; heavy-duty pavement for container stacking and vehicle traffic; 252 refrigerated container plugs distributed across multiple racks; infrastructure to enable BABA-compliant electric rubber-tired gantry yard cranes; stormwater conveyance, potable water, and fire protection systems; energy-efficient terminal lighting; and security fencing. The project also includes a new modern truck gate complex with six inbound lanes and three outbound lanes, two weigh-in-motion scales, optical character recognition scanning sheds, cameras and sensors for remote gate operations, a drivers assistance building, and longshore restrooms. Additional infrastructure comprises a behind-the-meter electrical substation and switchgear installation and an inspection platform.

Performance occurs at Wilmington, Delaware, with a period extending through March 14, 2030. The award is structured as reimbursable assistance.
