JAXPORT

JAXPORT is the trade name for the Jacksonville Port Authority, a public entity that owns and operates three marine terminals in Jacksonville, Florida. These terminals are the Blount Island Marine Terminal, the Talleyrand Marine Terminal, and the Dames Point Marine Terminal. JAXPORT is one of the nation's busiest seaports and is a significant economic engine for Northeast Florida, facilitating international trade and cargo movement.

The port handles a diverse range of cargo, including automobiles, heavy machinery, lumber, and refrigerated goods. It is a major hub for the import and export of vehicles, consistently ranking among the top ports in the United States for this commodity. JAXPORT also plays a crucial role in the movement of breakbulk and containerized cargo, as well as being a growing destination for cruise lines. Its strategic location on the St. Johns River, providing deepwater access to the Atlantic Ocean, makes it an attractive gateway for goods entering and leaving the southeastern United States. The port's operations support thousands of jobs in the region through direct and indirect employment.
