“Along with the deepening
of Jacksonville’s harbor to
47 feet, the facility is one of
several major capital projects
at the port aimed at serving
a growing Asian import
customer base looking to
access the U.S. interior,” the
magazine said.
“The Asian container trade,
up nearly 20% over the past
couple years, remains the
fastest-growing segment of
the port’s business.”
“You can

Jacksonville
region is the
ideal place
for supply
chain and
logistics
businesses
to expand.”
