Everglades breaks 1m teu barrier

Florida’s Port Everglades has exceeded one million teu for the first time in its history, according to preliminary fiscal year 2014 statistics.

During FY2014 (October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014), Everglades reported a preliminary, unaudited total of 1,013,344 teu moved through the port, with a nearly even split between imports and exports.

“This is a huge accomplishment for our seaport and a credit to our customers who continued to build their businesses through the global recession with an eye towards the future,” said the port’s chief executive and director Steven Cernak.
