Canaveral Port Authority launches RO/RO Division


The official grand opening of the Port Canaveral vehicle processing facility on March 5 was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the arrival of 730 new vehicles aboard the massive 653-foot-long vessel Wisteria Ace, the first vehicle carrier to call at the Port’s facility. The new automobiles were discharged at the Port’s 16-acre auto processing facility located alongside South Cargo Pier 4. Another carrier is scheduled to arrive next week with more than 850 new autos aboard. “A port-operated vehicle


processing facility has inherent value for current and potential


customers that aligns perfectly with our mission and translates to final-mile cost saving advantages for vehicle importers and exporters,” stated Capt. John Murray, Port CEO. “Operating the facility as a port authority enterprise gives us flexibility to respond to a customer’s unique requirements in a timely and efficient manner. What’s more, our location is a natural geographic center to access the high volume, fast-paced dealer markets in Florida.” Port Canaveral’s vehicle


processing facility is alongside a dedicated berth, resulting in quick offloading of vehicles to


the first and last point of rest. The secure paved facility includes a 20,000-square-foot, climate- controlled vehicle processing warehouse equipped with LED lighting and striped traffic lanes. The terminal has current capacity of 100,000 vehicles annually with potential to increase to 240,000 annually. All major markets in Florida and the U.S. Southeast are accessible within eight hours drive from Port Canaveral. Port Canaveral assumed the vehicle

Fewer container ships would likely mean less cargo at the Port of Oakland this spring. That was the message Oakland Maritime officials delivered to the Harbor Trucking Association last week. The port told freight haulers


via video conference that 20 May and June voyages to Oakland have been scrubbed.


The


result could be a 5-to-15% drop in containerized cargo volume heading into summer. “It’s a clouded picture,” said


Port of Oakland Business Development Manager Andrew Hwang.


“About 10% of our


scheduled vessel arrivals have been canceled by shipping lines, but we don’t know if that will translate into a similar drop in volume.” The port blamed vessel


cancelations on the coronavirus pandemic which has stunted


global trade. With consumer spending down, less merchandise is being loaded onto ships. That means fewer vessels needed between Asian manufacturing centers and U.S. ports. Import volume is expected to suffer the biggest cargo decline in coming months, the port said. Demand for Oakland exports


remains strong, but voyage cancelations could place some markets beyond reach, the port explained. Fruit, nut and meat exports are particularly coveted by overseas trading partners, especially in Asia, the port said. It added that Oakland exports to South Korea increased 31% last month, and to Japan,18%. The port said cargo is


moving smoothly through Oakland. There are no shortages of labor or equipment, it
