It is an international sea port on the St. Johns River in Jacksonville City, Florida. The port is one of the busiest on the East Coast, with an overall draft depth of 40 feet, making it ideal for heavy-tonnage cargo ships—a plus for our international car shipping transport services.

Management

The port is run by an authority from which it gets its nickname: the Jacksonville Port Authority, in short, JAXPORT. The body has been manning and managing the port since 1963, overseeing its operations, which mainly involve car trading. The port handles well over 21 million tons of cargo annually, grossing in heavy income to the Jacksonville Metropolitan Area.

Statistics

It is the second largest vehicle cargo handler in the United States, shipping an average of 656,805 vehicles; the figure is the lowest it has shipped since the year 2008. However, the port's relatively young age does not limit it to its vastness. It is the 36th port in the USA, ranking by total trade figures for overall domestic and international shipments through imports and exports. The numbers back up its dominance in shipping automobiles to or from the Port of Jacksonville.
