Canaveral Port Authority
Port Canaveral is a major economic driver for Central Florida and the State of Florida. The Port generates $6.1 billion economic impact and supports nearly 44,000 jobs throughout Florida, ranging from shipping and logistics to tourism and recreation through its diverse business portfolio including cruise, cargo handling, ship berthing, and recreation facilities. Port Canaveral is a world-class deep-water seaport with an uncongested setting offering the benefits of easy access by land or sea. This economic powerhouse is a major transportation hub serving as a global gateway for goods and services connecting commerce with consumers throughout Florida and the southeastern U.S.
State-of-the-art landside facilities, unrestricted air draft and deep-water berths are critically important to ensuring the Port can meet the needs of today’s largest and most
sophisticated vessels while being well positioned for the demands of the future.
Port Canaveral is a key player in the State of Florida’s strategic economic initiatives. The Port with its Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) #136 is diversifying its cargo operations, increasing throughput capacity, and developing new infrastructure to support the Central Florida region’s economic growth and improve the State’s competitiveness in a global economy. Robust investments in Port Canaveral’s landside and waterside infrastructure add value to the Port’s capabilities by providing multi-purpose and multi-user capacity to promote solid growth and economic prosperity for the
entire region.
