JAXPORT CEO to share updates on port growth and future plans

Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) CEO Eric Green will share updates on the US port’s major growth projects and plans for the future during the State of the Port address on 6 February, at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.

CEO Green and Chief Commercial Officer Robert Peek will discuss the investments that are enhancing JAXPORT’s cargo-handling capabilities, including the modernization of the SSA Jacksonville Container Terminal, Southeast Toyota Distributors’ new auto-processing facility, upgrades to the port’s container crane fleet, and the expansion of JAXPORT’s vehicle berths and on-dock warehousing.

The two officials will also discuss how Jacksonville’s location, including same-day access to 100 million US consumers, makes the region well-positioned for success across the port’s business lines, including cruise which will expand in fall 2025 with the arrival of Norwegian Gem.

“We have a number of initiatives underway that will build on JAXPORT’s position as Florida’s largest container port and a national leader in the movement of automobiles and breakbulk,” stated CEO Green. “All of these projects enhance our capabilities and set the stage for continued strategic growth, which supports jobs, economic impact, and supply chain security for our region and state.”

Meanwhile, cargo and cruise activity through Jacksonville’s port supports more than 138,000 Florida jobs and US$33 billion in annual economic output for the region and state.
