A Staten Island container terminal is accusing boxship giant Maersk Line of putting it on the brink of closure by abruptly moving its business to an affiliated terminal nearby in New Jersey.
A lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan federal court, Global Container Terminals' (GCT) New York facility said the shipowner sent a letter 10 April — Good Friday, when the business was closed — disclosing it was backing out of its 2018 agreement to route container traffic on three lines there exclusively.
