The construction of a new vehicle berth at the Blount Island Marine Terminal of the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) has reached the halfway point of its completion. According to a company statement, this project is part of an initiative estimated at $60 million aimed at increasing efficiency and expanding capacity for vehicle transport.
Progress on the berth construction
The new Berth 21 will be the third vehicle berth on Blount Island. Completion is scheduled for early 2027. It will be built near the existing Berth 20 and will share a short causeway that connects to the vehicle-first parking areas at the terminal. This expansion is intended to enhance operational flexibility for vehicle transport.
The progress on the construction of Berth 21 follows the completion of the expansion of Berth 22, which, according to the company, is now capable of accommodating larger vehicle ships with an overall length of up to approximately 750 feet (about 229 m). Together, the two projects are expected to improve vessel processing capabilities at the terminal while ensuring efficient operations for customers in vehicle transport.
