• Twenty-five-year lease agreement expansion
• Ten new acres added to terminal footprint
• Fifteen hurricane-resistant warehouses built
• Enhanced breakbulk and general cargo capacity

Port Canaveral and longtime terminal operator GT USA are fueling regional economic growth through a brand-new lease agreement that expands cargo operations by an additional ten acres. Building upon a successful partnership that began in 2014, this twenty-five-year agreement integrates seamlessly with GT USA’s existing twenty-acre footprint at North Cargo Berth 6. The newly acquired parcel will feature at least fifteen modern, hurricane-resistant warehouses totaling nearly 170,000 square feet, designed specifically to handle, store, and process essential breakbulk and general cargo, including lumber, steel, and specialized project materials.

This strategic expansion enables GT USA to diversify its capabilities further, welcoming new commodities and building upon recent milestones such as the launch of a new bi-monthly international container service connecting Central Florida to key markets in Mexico and the United States Northeast.

Port Canaveral CEO Captain John W. Murray emphasized that the collaboration reinforces the port’s role as a reliable global gateway ensuring supply chain stability for the region. Managing Director of GT USA Luke Richards also noted that the larger footprint provides the capacity needed to attract additional cargo and drive long-term economic activity.

With total cargo throughput surpassing six million tons and generating twenty-five million dollars in earned revenues for the fiscal year, Port Canaveral continues to solidify its reputation as a premier multi-purpose deep-water facility supporting jobs and commerce throughout Central Florida.
