Run by the Jacksonville Port Authority, JAXPORT (US JAX) earns its standing on two fronts: it is Florida's largest container port and one of the United States' top vehicle ports, moving roughly 1.4 million TEU and more than 500,000 vehicle units in fiscal 2025. Container services concentrate on Puerto Rico and Asia, recently joined by a new direct call to Cartagena, Colombia, under the Maersk–Hapag-Lloyd Gemini Cooperation. Boxes move mainly through the Blount Island and Dames Point terminals, where a roughly US$250 million Blount Island modernisation lifts capacity toward 2.5 million TEU. A deepened channel of about 47 feet (some 14 m) now admits larger container ships. Alongside containers and automobiles, the port handles breakbulk, project cargo and dry bulk. Hinterland reach is strong, served by three Class I railroads (CSX, Norfolk Southern, FEC) and several interstates across the US Southeast, with US Customs (CBP) clearance on site. For Southeast shippers, Jacksonville is a credible alternative to Savannah or Charleston, especially for automotive and Puerto Rico trades.
