Get Closer to Florida’s Logistics Hub


Perfectly positioned in the center of the state of Florida, Port Tampa Bay provides significant efficiencies and supply chain cost savings to the importers and exporters who serve the rapidly growing Florida market from the state’s distribution hub – the I-4 Corridor, as well as the burgeoning growth of new distribution centers along I-75 at the crossroad of I-4. The recent expansion of container services with Asia and Latin America via Port Tampa Bay have been critical in serving Florida’s largest and fastest-growing market. Home to the State’s largest concentration of distribution centers, the Central Florida region has over 550 million square feet of DC space right in Port Tampa Bay’s backyard. The port continues to see double-digit growth in containerized cargo, with more opportunities on the way with trade expansion in Latin America.

This region is also one of the hottest industrial real estate markets in the country and Florida’s hub for distribution, logistics, and manufacturing. Florida now has the 15th largest economy in the world and is the fastest-growing state in the country. Florida’s rapidly expanding population has already overtaken New York, making it the third-largest state. Home to nearly half of the state’s 23 million residents and welcoming a majority of the 140 million visitors each year, the Central Florida region is also the fastest-growing part of the state. In fact, three Tampa Bay counties, Polk, Hillsborough and Pasco are among the fastest growing in the country. Port Tampa Bay and our containerized cargo partners have kept pace with Florida’s booming population.

Central Florida: The Logistics Hub of the Southeast:

  • Port Tampa Bay is strategically located at the crossroad of I-4 and I-75, home to the largest concentration of distribution centers in the state of Florida between Tampa and Orlando

  • Close proximity allows for multiple round-trip truck deliveries per day

  • Weekly container services from/to Asia, Central America, South America, and Mexico

  • On-dock cold storage

  • Available northbound truck capacity means low-cost backhaul trucking rates to reach markets throughout the Southeastern US and beyond
