South Florida Container Terminal and POMTOC supply the muscle behind PortMiami's 1.12 million TEU in FY2025, the eleventh straight year above a million boxes and good for eleventh place among US container ports. Branded the Cargo Gateway of the Americas, it concentrates trade with Latin America and the Caribbean, with Asia services added through the Panama Canal. A dredged channel of roughly 15 metres lets post-Panamax vessels work the berths, while on-dock reefer racks handle the fruit, vegetables and cut flowers that dominate northbound volumes. US Customs and Border Protection clears import and export cargo at the terminal. Inland distribution runs on the Florida East Coast Railway's on-dock intermodal yard and the adjacent Interstate 95, reaching Florida and the wider US Southeast. PortMiami is also one of the world's busiest cruise ports, so quay and road capacity are shared with passenger peaks. Shippers needing deeper draught or stronger Asian connections often look to Port Everglades and JAXPORT nearby.
