Port of Palm Beach and Reefers


YOUR FRONT DOOR TO THE I-4


At the Port of Palm Beach, Tropical Shipping, a carrier serving the Bahamas and the Caribbean and a port tenant, announced recently that it added 250 new refrigerated containers to its fleet, to be used primarily to carry refrigerated export cargo to the Caribbean. Later this year, the Port of


Palm Beach will be breaking ground on an expansion of its


intermodal rail freight facility, thanks to a $13.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the only federal grant going to a Florida seaport for port infrastructure last year. The grant will be used to replace old rail, relocate a truck interchange, install new security monitors, and more than double the port’s intermodal rail capacity to 95,000 TEUs per year. The port learned in


February that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allocated $6.3 million for the dredging of nearby channels and the settling basins. “This is more than double”


what the port has received in the last five to seven years, according to Port Engineer Ron Coddington, allowing the port to do its planned dredging “all at once.”
