The Marino Group announces it has opened a 34-acre depot to meet the needs of the container and intermodal trade through the growing port of Mobile and the U. S. Gulf. The new facility provides container maintenance and repair, loaded and empty container storage, warehousing, chassis start-stop and repairs, grounded temperature-controlled unit pre-trips and genset rental programs.
