Container volume through Jaxport’s public terminals grows 7% to reach the 1M TEU mark for the first time.

Installation of rail tracks and crane pads is under way at Florida East Coast Railway (FEC)’s new Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) at Port Everglades, which is slated to open in the summer of this year.

Shipping industry consolidation and a changing economy are forcing US ports to re-evaluate their competitive advantages.

New projects in Jacksonville (FL) and Savannah will not be ready in time to cater for New-Panamax containerships in 2014, and nor will the Bayonne Bridge height raise in New York/New Jersey

Jacksonville Port Authority (JPA) has agreed to pay APM Terminals US$141,000 and Sea Star Line US$98,000 compensation for interruptions to their operations after a “weather event” in August 2008 destroyed two container cranes at Blount Island Terminal and damaged three others.

West coast ports have identified the need to address intermodal costs while the challenge in the East and Gulf is accommodating bigger vessels.
