Function
Jacksonville’s port is one of the largest commercial cargo ports on the Atlantic Coast. The Vision and Mission of JAXPORT is to be a major contributor to the growth and economic health of Northeast Florida by encouraging and facilitating commerce through the port. JAXPORT controls docks and wharfs, cranes, a passenger cruise terminal, warehouses, paved open storage areas, and road connections to the public highway system. JPA maintains these facilities and manages their overall use. The authority coordinates interaction between the port security department guards and the Seaport Security Unit, made up of 11 officers and 2 sergeants on contract from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
