Jacksonville Port Authority’s newly completed Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) at Dames Point is being used in support of a high-level military training exercise this month in advance of its official opening to commercial container movements later this year.
The ICTF allows cargo to move directly between ships and trains, speeding up the shipment process, extending the port’s intermodal reach well beyond Jacksonville and increasing the region’s global trade competitiveness.
Construction of the USD 30 million ICTF was funded through state and federal grants. The facility is served by CSX rail lines.
Prior to the start of the ICTF’s commercial operations, JAXPORT is partnering with numerous U.S. Army units.
