Our Foundation: Port Tampa Bay Has
Ample Capacity for Handling Bulk Cargo
The type of cargo that has long formed the foundation for Tampa being the No. 1 cargo port in the Sunshine State.
 
In 2014, Port Tampa Bay completed a refurbishment of the Richard E. Knight (REK) petroleum terminal complex. This provides the key link for meeting the needs of Central Florida consumers plus the aviation fuel demands of the Orlando International Airport. The redevelopment of the REK petroleum terminal has modernized and improved the efficiency, navigation and safety of operations.

Petroleum and related products continue to represent the largest volume commodity sector at Port Tampa Bay, with over 17 million tons of oil, gas and jet fuel moving through the port in a typical year.

STRENGTH IN DIVERSITY

Port Tampa Bay's diverse cargo mix is one of the key advantages of Florida's largest cargo port.

Shippers, freight forwarders, 3PL's and manufacturers alike are all looking for new, faster, cheaper and better alternatives to deliver their products to their market. With our expanded infrastructure and intermodal capabilities they're now looking at Port Tampa Bay.

Port Tampa Bay is the largest and most diverse port in Florida, serving the 10th largest economy (Tampa Bay/Orlando I-4 corridor) which is now the 3rd largest state in the U.S. We handle a wide variety of break bulk cargoes including steel, forest products, bagged cement and fertilizers, not to mention our expanding container, Ro-Ro and bulk business. 

With an abundance of land and intermodal infrastructure improvements, Port Tampa Bay has steadily increased its capacity and created innovative ways to bring break bulk and other products to market.

AMPLE CAPACITY

In addition to nearly 500,000 square feet of warehouse and transit shed capacity, our general cargo docks feature more than 6,000 feet of linear berth and close proximity to the port's container terminal with 5 Gantry cranes and a Gottwald mobile harbor crane.

Port Tampa Bay's newly expanded capabilities include a dedicated ramp to the interstate highway system. Coming soon, a new terminal under construction will add approximately 20 acres of laydown activity and 1,000 feet of linear berth.
