Port Miami

Since Miami is one of the travelers’ favorite destinations in the world, it is no wonder that Port Miami is the cruise capital of the world. It is the largest passenger port in the world, and one of the largest cargo ports in the United States. Port Miami has huge importance for Florida economy, as it employs more than 175,000 people, providing an economic impact of more than $1.4 billion in taxes, state and local, annually equaling almost 4.5% of Florida’s GDP.

Located in the Biscayne Bay, Miami Port is the home of many world-renowned cruise lines, such as Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival. It hosted the largest cruise ships until 2009, when Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas move to Port Everglades. Whopping 7.4 million passengers pass through the port every year, but aside of being a cruise line passengers’ favorite, Miami Port is one of the rare ports in the world that serves cargo ships as well. It is the busiest cargo port of Americas, where 7.4 million of cargo passes through annually.

In 1997, Miami Port management undertook a major redevelopment program to keep it as one of the world’s best seaports. It costs $250 million to complete it. One of the biggest challenges in the process was building the Port of Miami Tunnel. It took four years to be completed. It connects the port with the interstate highway system, allowing vehicles avoid the infamous congested Miami traffic. Those who want to reach Miami downtown, however, can still use the great road connections to go there.
