Eleven of Florida’s 14 ports handled some combination of domestic, import,
and export cargo in fiscal year 2008/2009. During this time period, Florida’s
ports moved over 45 million tons of domestic cargo, imported over 42 million
tons, and exported 17 million tons for a total of over 104 million tons.
The Port of Tampa is by far the largest cargo port handling over 36 percent of
the State’s tonnage. Tampa is followed by Port of Jacksonville and Port
Everglades in tonnage handled; the three together represent over 78 percent of
all tonnage moving through Florida ports. In addition, these three ports are the
only ones to handle a significant amount of domestic cargo – mostly petroleum,
phosphate, and Puerto Rican trade. The Port of Tampa has historically focused
on domestic cargo while Port of Jacksonville and Port Everglades are fairly
balanced between domestic and international traffic. Other ports, including
Manatee, Miami, Palm Beach, Canaveral, Panama City, Ft. Pierce, Fernandina,
and Pensacola handle the remaining tonnage moving in Florida.
