1101 Channelside Drive • Tampa, FL 33602 800-741-2297 • www.porttb.com Port Tampa Bay

P ort Tampa Bay has emerged as Florida’s new supply chain solution for container cargo and continues to add capacity to meet the needs of its growing market. The U.S. Census Bureau recently announced that Florida was the fastest growing state in the country in 2022 with a population of over 22.2 million. At the same time, the Tampa Bay region’s economic growth outpaced both the State of Florida and the nation as a whole last year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Do you ship products outside of these industries? No problem, we can help.

Paul Anderson President and CEO

For more information about Trinity’s freight services and how we can help your business, visit trinitylogistics.com.

“Port Tampa Bay’s container business is growing exponentially as our location allows BCOs and container carriers to get closer to their customers with the expansion of DC capacity along the Tampa Bay/ Orlando I-4 Corridor.”

Corporate Contact Info Brittany Siegel Director of Marketing Email: Brittany.siegel@ trinitylogistics.com Info Marketing Brittany.siegel@

Capacity for Continued Growth Maersk, ZIM, MSC, COSCO, CMA CGM and Evergreen offer weekly direct service from Asia. Latin American services include Sealand to Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, Linea Peninsular’s service from Progreso, Mexico and SeaCat Line from Costa Rica. Dole Ocean Cargo Express also has a direct weekly service from Honduras and Guatemala serving both the perishable market, as well as dry containerized cargo. For the beneficial cargo owners in the Port’s immediate backyard, these direct services are especially good news. These companies are seeing significant savings in their supply chain/distribution costs as truckers can now make as many as 3 to 4 round trip deliveries per day from Port Tampa Bay to their DCs, which then serves the entire state and benefits from attractive truck backhaul rates to reach into markets throughout the Southeast and beyond. Port Tampa Bay, along with container terminal operator Ports America, has easily accommodated the growth in Florida by staying ahead of the curve thanks to our terminal build-out program. Recent expansion has increased paved storage to 67 acres with a new gate complex currently under construction, and three more port-Panamax cranes scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of this year. The next phase of expansion will bring an additional 30 acres of paved storage, and a berth extension from 3,200 to 4,500 linear feet.

Florida’s Distribution Hub Expanded container services, including the addition of direct Asia container services, have been instrumental in serving Florida’s largest and fastest-growing market—the Tampa Bay/Orlando I-4 Corridor. Port Tampa Bay is perfectly positioned to provide supply chain efficiencies to the importers and exporters who serve the growing Central Florida region. Ships arriving at Port Tampa Bay experience no congestion or delays, and the Port has emerged as the preferred gateway to our region due to our proximity to the growing Tampa/Orlando I-4 Corridor market, with more than 400 distribution centers right in our backyard. This Central Florida region is also one of the hottest industrial real estate markets in the country and Florida’s hub for distribution, logistics, and manufacturing. Florida now has the 15th largest economy in the world and is the fastest-growing state in the country. Florida’s rapidly expanding population has already overtaken New York, making it the third-largest state. Home to nearly half of the state’s population and welcoming a majority of the 140 million visitors each year, the Central Florida region is one of the fastest-growing areas of the state. The importers and exporters who support this huge consumer market are demanding a Florida-first supply chain strategy with expanded direct ocean container services.

“I know that there are a lot of choices out there. But right now, I keep hearing from our customers that the way we do things here at Associated is different. Our customers notice right away that we aren’t focused on the same things our competitors seem to be. Everyone, everywhere is complaining about ‘customer experience’ and not being able to get answers when they need them. Seems like the concept of ‘customer service’ is sadly becoming a thing of the past. While we’ve got technological capability to rival anyone in the space, our difference is the investment we make in human capital and customers are noticing the difference more and more. This is why we are one of the fastest growing companies in America.”

Committed to serving. Dedicated to shipping.

Our success is a function of our customer’s success, therefore we treat our customer’s logistic concerns as if they were our own. We are available all the time, we are responsive all the time—we add to our customer’s bottom line and we do it on time. During these unpredictable times, you need a 3PL that values Communication and Service Excellence at fair rates above all else.

Since 1967, ACL has been a specialized transatlantic carrier of containers, project and oversized cargo, heavy equipment and vehicles with the world’s largest combination G4 RORO/Containerships. The Company has oces throughout Europe and North America. ACL oers two transatlantic sailings each week and is also the North America Agent for Grimaldi for services between North America and West Africa and between North America and the Mediterranean. The Company also oers oversized cargo service between North America to the Middle East, Far East and Oceania. ACL’s one of a kind CONRO vessels constantly enhances our cargo-carrying capabilities. Combined with Grimaldi’s ever- expanding service network, they enable ACL to provide even more services as a high- quality container and RORO operator for many years to come.

ACL is the only Atlantic carrier that can transport both containers and oversized cargo on the same ship. Our Generation 4 fleet of five vessels service the transatlantic trade and are the first of their kind and the largest RORO/Containerships in the world. They are bigger, greener and more ecient than their predecessors. Container capacity is more than doubled at 3,800 TEUs, plus 28,900 square meters of RORO space and car capacity of 1,300+ vehicles. The RORO ramps are wider and shallower and the RORO decks are higher with fewer columns, enabling much easier loading and discharge of oversized cargo. Emissions per TEU are reduced by 65%. ACL’s uniquely designed container cell- guides on deck allow the Company to extend its enviable 50-plus year record of ACL ships never losing a container over the side. All containers on deck are secured in a cell guide racking system—always secure and locked in place despite the weather on the North Atlantic. ACL’s fleet dramatically improves the Company’s competitiveness on the North Atlantic and demonstrates to our customers that ACL’s Parent Company, the Grimaldi Group, continues to do things dierently than all of its competitors. We employ unique ships, go to unique ports and carry cargo that others cannot carry.
