JAXPORT EXPRESS is a $47 million public-private partnership funded by JAXPORT and two port tenants, SSA Jacksonville and Crowley, and a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration. The initiative will support sustainability initiatives at the port’s Blount Island and Talleyrand marine terminals.
EXPRESS is one of the first large-scale investments in zero- and near-zero-emission cargo-handling equipment technologies in Florida. The initiative will achieve greenhouse gas reductions, expand energy-efficient terminal infrastructure, increase JAXPORT’s cargo throughput, and develop a plan to transition to lower-emission port infrastructure and maritime operations.
