Port Everglades sets records in cargo, energy, and cruise sectors for FY 2025, highlighting growth and strategic partnerships.
Florida's Port Everglades has achieved historic records across all three of its core business sectors—cruise, cargo, and energy—for fiscal year 2025. This marks the first time the port has simultaneously surpassed its highest volumes in each category, according to the American Journal of Transportation.
Cargo operations reached an impressive 1,167,552 TEU, the highest in the port's history. Officials attribute this milestone to stronger global trade ties, expanded capacity, and rising demand from Latin America, the Caribbean, and other regions.
In the energy sector, Port Everglades moved 131,855,261 barrels of petroleum products, reaffirming its status as Florida's leading petroleum port. The facility supplies fuel to 12 counties and five international airports.
Cruise traffic also experienced significant growth, with a preliminary count of 4,773,873 passengers, reflecting a 16 percent increase year on year.
Port Director Joseph Morris stated that this record-breaking performance showcases the strength of partnerships and resilience across business lines. He emphasized that the port's diversified portfolio positions it to adapt and lead as market dynamics evolve.
With over US$3 billion allocated for long-term capital improvements under its Master/Vision Plan, Port Everglades is poised for continued growth in capacity, efficiency, and sustainability.
