  "summary": "Construction is underway on Delaware's largest-ever maritime infrastructure project, a $669 million container terminal that state officials say will quadruple the state's cargo-handling capacity and create thousands of high-paying jobs. The Delaware Container Terminal (DCT) is being developed through a public-private partnership between the state-owned Diamond State Port Corp. and terminal operator Enstructure, and is designed to handle 1.2 million TEUs per year. Once complete, DCT and the upgraded Wilmington facility will operate under a unified \"Port Delaware\" brand, with a combined annual box capacity of up to 1.6 million TEUs.",
