Steady course in Jacksonville
Florida-based Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) has reported the results of its fiscal year 2020 that runs from 1 October till 30 September.
About 1.28 million teu were handled, down 5% from 2019, which was a record year. Almost 547,500 vehicles crossed through the port, also due to an increase in US military vehicle movements.
Despite the pandemic, the port’s revenue moved sideways with USD 65.1 million, down only 7% for the year. The port’s foreign trade zone (FTZ) No. 64, Florida’s largest FTZ by area, continued to grow as a total of USD 3.9 billion worth of merchandise entered the zone during a one-year period. (cd)
