Jacksonville Port Authority opened the USD 30 million intermodal container transfer facility that provides on-dock rail service to JAXPORT’s North Jacksonville seaport terminals. The direct transfer of containers between vessels and trains speeds up the shipment process, offering shippers greater options and efficiencies.
The facility was constructed with USD 20 million in funding from the state of Florida and USD 10 million in federal TIGER-grant funds.
Rail that connects to CSX Transportation’s main line allows for two unit trains each day. Ceres Rail Services is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations.
