Port Miami has handled 1.11 million TEUs for Fiscal Year 2025, up from 1.08 million TEUs recorded in the same period last year.
This represents a 2.35 per cent growth and marks 11 consecutive years exceeding 1 million TEUs.
The port’s cargo growth highlights the importance of infrastructure investments, including increased yard efficiency, technology, and connectivity.
Cargo yard enhancements include completion of phase two of the Electric Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane (eRTG) Project, which will bring the total number of eRTGs in the South Florida Container Terminal to 18, allowing for higher stacking of containers and more efficient runs within the yard.
In the Seaboard Marine yard, work continues on the port’s draining project and rehabbing berths.
Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava, said: “Port Miami’s dual achievements highlight its dynamic role as both a cruise and cargo powerhouse, contributing billions to the local economy while advancing a future-ready vision of innovation, resiliency, and global connectivity.
“Through strategic investments in infrastructure and technology, the port is enhancing its operational efficiency and ensuring long-term competitiveness.”
Hydi Webb, Port Miami Director and CEO, stated: “Port Miami’s record performance across both cruise and cargo operations reflects the dedication of our entire team and the strength of our partnerships with the cruise industry, cargo carriers, and the business community.
“As we continue to expand and modernise our facilities, our focus remains on providing safe, efficient, and resilient operations that support Miami-Dade County’s economic growth and strengthen our position as a global gateway for travel and trade.”
Last month, the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners approved a new cooperative agreement with South Coast AQMD and the Port of Long Beach.
