Florida Seaport System Plan - SeaCIP

Florida Seaport System Plan
2011/2012. This slightly decreases in FY 2012/13 to around 17 percent and rises
rapidly in 2013/2014 to almost 33 percent. Typically, a five-year program has
the largest allocation of needs in the first year, reflecting top priorities, which is
not shown here. Most of the larger ports deferred their needs to later years.

Source: Seaport-specific CIPs were collected and reviewed; seaports provided updates as of
October 2010.
Figure 5.2 illustrates the cumulative on-port needs by port. Almost 34 percent of
the total capital improvement program represents needs at the Port of Jacksonville.
Figure 5.2 also visually demonstrates the significant differences among the larger
seaports (Everglades, Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa), medium sized ports
(Canaveral, Manatee, and Palm Beach 2
), and the smaller seaports (Fernandina, Fort
Pierce, Key West, Pensacola, Panama City, Port St. Joe, and St. Petersburg). The
largest seaports have larger needs to meet and maintain the growing demands of
the container industry, major bulk, and break bulk operations, cruise operations –
including dredging, terminal, and land side connections.

Although the Port of Palm Beach’s current CIP is small compared to its current output in
tonnage and twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), the Port remains one of Florida’s key
medium-sized niche ports.
