WORKS to deepen the Jacksonville harbour in Florida from 40 to 47 feet has officially got underway, ending a decade of study, independent review and public consultation to gain full US regulatory approval.
Jacksonville Port Authority (JaxPort) CEO Eric Green said: "Effective federal, state and local leaders working together with our maritime and business communities made this a reality. It is exhilarating to see this historic project come to life."
Construction of the project's first segment is expected to take two years. Contractors for the US Army Corps of Engineers are performing the river channel deepening work.
The port of Jacksonville moved 1.3 million containers in 2017. The Asian container trade, with cargo moving aboard the largest ships calling at US east coast ports, is the fastest growing segment of JaxPort's container cargo business, reported American Shipper.
