Around 32 million tons of cargo crossed Port Tampa Bay's docks in fiscal year 2025, and the mix shows exactly what kind of port this is. Phosphate and fertiliser raw materials handled through Mosaic's Hooker's Point and Rockport terminals make up roughly 35 percent of that tonnage, while petroleum products supply about 45 percent of the gasoline and jet fuel used across Florida. Container volumes remain modest at nearly 263,000 TEU in FY2025 but have more than quadrupled since 2018, concentrated in refrigerated produce, building materials and a fast-growing pharmaceutical cold chain. Breakbulk and project cargo round out the throughput. Road and rail links carry goods inland across Florida and the wider US Southeast. In early 2026 the port welcomed its largest containership yet, a sign of expanding liner service. Shippers needing dense container line services often route through Miami or Jacksonville, while Tampa earns its keep on bulk, energy and reefer traffic.
