About Port Tampa Bay
Port Tampa Bay is the largest Florida port by tonnage and land. Today, the port has more than 1,000 acres of industrially zoned land with deep-water access, with room to expand cargo facilities. Port Tampa Bay real estate sites are ideal for cargo handling operations, as well as manufacturing, logistics services, and warehousing/ transit shed operations. In addition to its vast supply of deep-water properties, the port also has available 265 acres of non-waterfront real estate, perfect for industrial and maritime-related use. Ground transportation, including CSX Rail and the interstate highway system, is easily accessible. These Port Tampa Bay sites located on Hookers Point, South Bay and Port Redwing, also provide convenient product transference by being strategically positioned at the intersection of major east-west and north-south shipping trade lanes. Moreover, with the addition of two new postPanamax container gantry cranes at the port's container terminal, Port Tampa Bay continues to further diversify itself as it expands its global footprint. In recent years, the port has continued to diversify its portfolio at Port Redwing in southern Hillsborough County. To service the more than 50 acres available at Port Redwing and 135 acres at South Bay, the port has made available for a month by month a common area to facilitate the periodic transfer of goods for our off water front tenants. The area is served by the Big Bend Channel, which was recently deepened to 43 feet and widened to 250 feet through an innovative “P-5” funding coalition of five entities: the Federal government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Florida through the Florida Department of Transportation, Port Tampa Bay, Mosaic, and Tampa Electric-an Emera company.
