Celebrating Florida's Maritime Giants 🌊🚢 1. Port Tampa Bay: Florida's largest and most diverse seaport, strategically placed along the I-4 corridor. It handles a vast cargo range, from containers to automobiles. The port's container capacity recently grew by 30%, attracting major shipping companies. 2. Port of Miami: Located in the southeastern part, it's a global cargo gateway and the 'cruise capital of the world.' In 2021, the port broke records with an 18% surge in container cargo. 3. Port Everglades: Florida's deepest port, also a vital petroleum storage and distribution hub. It's one of the busiest container facilities in the U.S. and a prime cruise destination, welcoming over 4 million guests annually. These Florida ports are more than just transportation hubs; they're economic powerhouses. 🌎✈ #kcelogistics #logistics #logisticsusa #logisticsmiami #insidekce #gettoknowus #safety #efficiency #logisticsservice

In honor of #WorldTradeMonth, The Florida Ports Council shares how Florida's efficient seaports are reaching new milestones following years of global supply chain disruptions. JAXPORT is growing following progress on its major infrastructure projects to enhance container, auto, and breakbulk (non-containerized) cargo-handling operations. "Investments in port infrastructure have certainly contributed to the growing strength of our seaports," Florida Ports Council President and CEO Mike Rubin said. "Remaining an attractive and competitive seaport state will be essential to ensuring that Florida continues to secure even more cargo volume."

The port of New York and New Jersey (NY/NJ) is emerging as the main alternative for shippers that traditionally route their cargo through Baltimore. Baltimore handled 1.1m teu in 2023, with three carriers – MSC, Maersk and Zim – accounting for almost two-thirds of these volumes, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Mr Hooper advised shippers and forwarders to monitor terminal utilisation and pre-berth vessel waiting times for signs of port congestion in New York and elsewhere. “If we remove the Baltimore capacity from that market and we spread Baltimore’s volumes across the other ports of that range, and we look at the overall expected market increase, utilisation could rise as high as 80%, which is manageable for a short time. “But if that persists, that level of utilisation will likely cause delays and capacity constraints at those terminals – if those pre-berth waiting times begin to increase at New York, New Jersey and Hampton Roads terminals, that will indicate that those terminals are struggling with the additional throughput from Baltimore,” he added. #Baltimorebridge #logistics

It's been a difficult few months for the Port of Savannah. Cargo volumes dropped 19% year-over-year in October, furthering the decline reported in September. 🤕 It's unclear when we'll see brighter days return to the port, given the overwhelming number of uncontrollable factors and economic uncertainties. That said, many savvy local businesses are adapting to the new normal, building resilience into their operations in the face of adversity. 💪 Savannah's strength has always been its people, and as we continue to move forward, we must keep our eyes on the horizon and focus on solutions. 🔎 #PortofSavannah #CargoVolumes #AdaptingtoChange

So the forecast would be? Congestion (BOS) Surcharge naturally to follow from the carriers yes? Yes. Right on time for Q2-2024. Like Wyle Coyote & The Roadrunner clocking in to entertain. #surcharges #terminals #containershipping

Something about this smells very off…. Another Massive container ship loses power near NYC Bridge days after Baltimore Key Bridge. In a recent incident that highlights the complexities of maritime logistics, the M/V APL Qingdao, a massive 89,000-ton container ship, lost propulsion power while traversing the Kill Van Kull, a crucial shipping lane between Staten Island and Bayonne, New Jersey. The vessel, registered in Malta and owned by French shipping giant CMA CGM, was en route to Norfolk, Virginia, when the incident occurred near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Thanks to the swift action of three tugboats escorting the APL Qingdao, the ship was guided to safety and regained propulsion shortly after. This event comes on the heels of another significant incident where a cargo vessel collided with Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, resulting in a tragic loss of life and disruption to maritime transit. These incidents underscore the importance of robust safety measures and protocols in the shipping industry. The Coast Guard’s requirement for a detailed casualty report and certification of the vessel’s propulsion system before resuming its voyage is a testament to the stringent safety standards in place. #MaritimeSafety #Logistics #ShippingIndustry #CyberAttack #technology #CyberSecurityAwareness

As of May 20, merchant ships can now navigate through a newly restored channel measuring 50 feet deep and 400 feet wide. This deeper channel allows typical vessel traffic to pass through the gap, ensuring smoother and more efficient maritime operations. Stay tuned for more updates. #BaltimorePort #MaritimeNews #ShippingUpdate #PortRestoration #EfficientTransport #MaritimeOperations

Statistics from Mexico’s General Coordination of Ports and Merchant Marine reveal that seaports throughout Mexico handled a record-breaking 2.95 million twenty-foot equivalent units in the initial four months of 2024! This marks an 18.2% rise ⬆ compared to the previous year. The majority of container traffic, amounting to 2.14 million TEUs, was managed by Mexico’s nine Pacific Coast ports during the January-April period, reflecting a 19% increase year-over-year 🙌

Top 20 North American ports | by George Lauriat | #shipping #ports #maritme The “Top 20 North American Ports” charts are evaluated by tonnage and TEUs. The principal reason for this approach is reflected in the nature of trade itself in North America. In most cases, ports are measured by the number of containers they handle. https://ow.ly/H3vz50QtzJ0

https://lnkd.in/gxjkbfRG Ports of Indiana, the 63-year-old authority managing the state’s ports, is proceeding with a plan to develop the first international sea cargo container terminal on Lake Michigan. According to the authority, it would create the only all-water container route for ocean vessels to serve the greater Chicago metropolitan area via the Great Lakes.
