JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Port Authority CEO gave updates on the port’s projects and future plans during the State of the Port address on Thursday at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront.
CEO Eric Green and Chief Commercial Officer Robert Peek will discussed the investments that are enhancing JAXPORT’s cargo-handling capabilities and the expansion of vehicle berths and on-dock warehousing.
They also discussed how Jacksonville’s location makes the region well-positioned for success across the port’s business lines and cruises which will expand in Fall 2025 with the arrival of Norwegian Gem.
There was a panel discussion with industry experts exploring trends impacting the port’s major cargo types and Jacksonville’s emerging trade lanes.
“We have a number of initiatives underway that will build on JAXPORT’s position as Florida’s largest container port and a national leader in the movement of automobiles and breakbulk,” Green said. “All of these projects enhance our capabilities and set the stage for continued strategic growth, which supports jobs, economic impact, and supply chain security for our region and state.”
