Auto Opportunities Abound
Florida’s population growth, along with Port Tampa Bay’s close proximity to Mexico, and the port’s central location in Florida provides auto manufacturers’ the optimal location to distribute new vehicles in the most efficient manner to the third largest new vehicle sales’ market in the U.S.

Mexico is one of the world’s largest automotive producing countries, and Florida is the third largest U.S. state for vehicle purchases. Delivering by shortsea transport will prevent auto delays at the land-border, shave several days off transit times, and significantly reduce in-transit vehicle damage. That’s a winning combination for OEMs, dealers and buyers. In addition to personal vehicles, the port accommodates inbound and outbound high and heavy construction equipment.
