Port Everglades breaks May and June records

[ July 22, 2022   //   ]

Port Everglades exceeded its record May and June cargo volumes with new linrer  services from India, Turkey and Greece.

Unlike the downturn typically seen at the end of the melon shipping season, there was a spike in May and June thanks to new MSC services from South Asia and the Mediterranean, said chief executive and port director ,Jonathan Daniels.

“We are on track to shatter our annual record from 2018,” he added.

In May 2022, Port Everglades recorded 97,502TEU, up 4% over the former record set in May 2015. Containerized cargo volumes jumped 5% in June 2022 over the former record set in June 2018, with 94,106TEU.

Port Everglades handles an average of 1m TEU annually and is a gateway to Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and now India.

Located within the Florida cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach, It has direct access to the interstate highway system and the Florida East Coast Railway’s 43-acre intermodal container transfer facility, and says it is closer to the Atlantic shipping lanes than any other Southeastern US port.
