Location
Being the closest deep water seaport to the Panama Canal,
Port Manatee is a logical choice for trade with Pacific Rim
markets and provides superior access to Mexico, Central
and South America and the Caribbean basin. With the
future expansion of this vital waterway, Panama Canal's
capacity will double, allowing it to handle ships much larger
than today's Panamax ships.
Expansion
Between Port Manatee and the adjacent Port Manatee
Commerce Center, the two properties offer over 1.3 million
square feet of modern office and warehouse space. Once
Berth 12 is extended from its current 1,000 foot length to
1,584 feet it will accommodate up to Panamax-size vessels.
Intermodal
Given its rural surroundings, excellent highway and rail
access, Port Manatee provides fast throughput ensuring
cargo gets from shippers to customers as quickly as
possible. Port Manatee owns and operates its own Class III
railroad with 8 miles of on-site and exchange yard tracks
connecting to CSX Transportation rail lines. Completing the
intermodal picture is 65 mph access to the interstate
system directly from Port Manatee's gates. Trucks reach I-
75 and I-275 without encountering any stoplights, putting all
of North America in reach without the hassle of urban
congestion.
