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. A $72 million modernisation of the SSA Jacksonville Container Terminal, completed in 2025, raised JAXPORT's total annual container capacity to approximately 2 million TEU across Blount Island and Dames Point terminals; accompanying $100 million berth enhancements allow two post-Panamax vessels simultaneously at Blount Island. The $420 million harbor deepening project is complete: the channel now reaches 47 feet (14.3 m); an upgrade of air draft clearance to 205 feet is on track for completion by end of 2026, opening access to even larger vessels. 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.
