Gulftainer (GT) USA, operators of Canaveral Cargo Terminal in Florida, and part of the UAE’s Gulftainer Group, has announced a renovated warehouse with 40,000 square feet of storage is now available at the Marlin Street Warehouse at Port Canaveral.

“The facility serves as a secure location for general warehousing, providing a full range of logistics services, including trucking, cross docking, storage and inventory control and last mile distribution. Located at 9001 Marlin Street, Unit A in Port Canaveral, just minutes off I-95 and only 45 minutes from Orlando and Central Florida, the recently renovated warehouse features three drive-in doors, six tailgate truck doors, new paving and an updated office space. The warehouse is in the process of becoming bonded. GT USA is leasing the facility from the Canaveral Port Authority,” the company stated.

GT USA has partnered with Avalon Wheeler Freight Services LLC (AWFS) to manage and operate the warehouse, which will be utilised for international cargoes transiting through GT USA’s Canaveral Cargo Terminal, as well as for domestic cargoes.

GT USA advertises that its Canaveral Cargo Terminal has the fastest access to Orlando of any terminal in Florida, with a “turn around” time of just one to two hours. StreamLines, N.V., part of the Seatrade Group, recently launched its new Blue Stream container service with Canaveral Cargo Terminal as its only U.S. port of call. The service ships refrigerated and dry cargo between Port Canaveral, Europe, the French West Indies and Central America.

“As our business continues to grow at Port Canaveral, GT USA is pleased to now provide our current and future partners in trade cost-effective handling and storage services,” said Joe Cruise, commercial manager of GT USA.
