Approximately 1.39 million TEU and more than 500,000 vehicle units in fiscal 2025 confirm JAXPORT (US JAX) as Florida's largest container port and one of the United States' top vehicle terminals. Container services run primarily to Puerto Rico and Asia, with the Maersk–Hapag-Lloyd Gemini Cooperation adding further direct calls. The $250 million Blount Island modernisation programme is now complete, encompassing the new SSA Jacksonville International Container Terminal and the Southeast Toyota Distributors vehicle processing facility; a further Enstructure vehicle facility launched in 2025 with 125,000-unit annual capacity and some 90,000 OEM units expected in 2026. Accompanying berth enhancements allow two post-Panamax vessels simultaneously at Blount Island. The $420 million harbour deepening is also complete: the channel reaches 47 feet (14.3 m), and helicopter work to raise electric lines at Fulton Cut — targeting 205 feet of air-draft clearance — remains on schedule for completion by end of 2026. Beyond containers and vehicles, the port handles breakbulk, project cargo and dry bulk. Three Class I railroads (CSX, Norfolk Southern, FEC) and multiple interstates serve 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.
