But … They Share a Common Public Purpose and Create Florida’s Dynamic Seaport System The collective mission of Florida’s seaports is to “enhance the economic vitality and quality of life throughout the state by fostering the growth of domestic and foreign waterborne commerce….”

Seaports Operate in a Unique Environment … Focused, but dynamic transportation purpose: the movement of cargo -- bulk, boxed, or breathing.

...With Unique Challenges  Seaports must -- and do -- plan ahead to compete with neighboring states for domestic and international market share.  Surprisingly, Savannah delivers a majority of containerized goods to Florida’s consumers north of Orlando taking jobs and revenues from Floridians.  Seaports are public entities, but must function as entrepreneurs to fulfill their public purpose.  Flexibility, diversity, prompt response – these are a seaport’s competitive business imperative.
