WHO WE ARE

Metro Ports is a brand composed of: Metropolitan Stevedore Company, Suderman Contracting Stevedores, Inc. and Southeast Crescent Shipping Company. We have offices along U.S. West, Gulf, East Coast and Great Lakes and operations in 20+ ports nationwide.

The utilization of Metro Ports in branding key operating companies pays homage to the rich experience and history of Metropolitan Stevedore Company, which has business roots dating back to its original parent corporation in San Francisco, California.

As the decades passed after being incorporated in 1923, Metropolitan Stevedore Company became generally known as Metro, so the decision was made to use Metro Ports as the new brand of our various operating companies.
