Port of Pensacola

The Port of Pensacola, located on Pensacola Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, is a strategically important deep-water port serving Northwest Florida. Established in 1743, it operates as part of the City of Pensacola's Enterprise Operations and covers approximately 50 acres of land at the southern terminus of Barracks Street in downtown Pensacola. The port features eight deep draft berths with a depth of 33 feet and 265,000 square feet of warehouse space, along with on-dock rail service via the Class 1 CSX railway. Positioned only 11 miles from the first sea buoy, the port offers one of the quickest transits through the Gulf of Mexico with no overhead obstructions. Its multi-modal connectivity includes access to the Interstate 10 system and proximity to Pensacola International Airport, making it a hub for handling bulk, break-bulk, unitized freight, and special project cargo. The port’s location and facilities support diverse shipping activities, offering comprehensive stevedoring and marine terminal services to a range of cargo types.
