Florida Inland Port
An inland port for Florida
FLORIDA INLAND PORT
4
Florida Inland Port, St Lucie County, FL USA
FIP totals over 4,000 acres of rail-oriented, industrial land. The project will serve as an inland port
for the State of Florida and will become an “integrated logistics center,” emphasizing multi-modal
(rail and highway) transportation around which clusters of related businesses, including
warehousing, distribution assembly and manufacturing can occur.

Florida Inland Port
Project Vision
The Florida Inland Port (FIP) will serve as the final intermodal link in the new gateway supply chain being
established through multiple public-private initiatives in the State of Florida.
Seeing the expanded Panama Canal and the growing economies of Caribbean, Central and South
American nations as a major component of Florida’s future economic growth, the State of Florida is
investing tens of millions of dollars into their port infrastructure, which in turn has spurred millions of dollars
of cargo rail infrastructure.
Following the public and rail investment, Florida is relying upon attracting private capital to develop a
centralized location for creation of an inland port as the final critical piece needed for the State's success as
a natural and strategically placed international cargo entry point.
Located half-way between Miami and Jacksonville; and mid-way between Florida’s east and west coast;
The Florida inland port will serve a variety of logistics functions needed to help preserve Florida’s
competitive position along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
FIP will benefit both the population and business community of Florida by utilizing its direct rail connectivity
between Florida’s major ocean terminals to its inland location. This will reduce the burden on Florida’s
public roadways; provide for cost effective transportation of goods and cargo towards the consumption
center; and capitalize on Florida’s current and future public investment.

Florida Inland Port
Responding to new market shift for North American ports
After years of dominating North American maritime trades, U.S. West Coast ports
are threatened….
…. Converging economic forces now
favor growth of the gulf and east coast
ports for Asian trade to the midwest.

Emerging trend of US inland ports
As US ports prepare for the opening of the expanded Panama Canal in
August, 2014, emphasis is being placed on development of inland ports,
connected by rail to major
US ports of entry. The
combined system provides
efficient throughput with
sensitivity to traffic
congestion and
environmental responsibility.

Florida Ports Today
Florida ports represent the only system in the
US which span both the Atlantic and Gulf
coast regions. Together, over 2.84 million of
containerized cargo and over $69.7 billion
materials are shipped via Florida ports.
Florida ports remain the closest port of entry
for traffic transiting the Panama Canal, and
remains the gateway for the growing
economies of the Caribbean and Latin
American nations.
Florida’s dominant container seaports are
located on the Atlantic side:
Miami
Port Everglades
Palm Beach
Jacksonville

Florida intermodal connections
Florida’s Strategic Intermodal System
(SIS) contains a network of highways,
railroads, seaports and airports. They are
currently the focus of state and federal
funding and economic initiative directed
towards improving Florida’s position in
domestic and foreign trade. Florida Inland
Port optimizes the use of this investment
for the betterment of the public interest
and regional economy.

2005 planned regional freight corridors
Long before FIP was conceptualized, the
joint Martin/St. Lucie County MPO
Regional Long-Range Transportation
Plan, “Destination 2030” indicated the FIP
site was cited as the most probable
location for a strategic freight hub.

FIP can reach about 11 million people, or
about 64.7% of the Florida population, within a
120 mile radius of the site.
This is the same 120 mile radius that includes
the largest population of local distribution
centers (ILC and inland port users) in Florida.

Conceptual Development
Scenarios
25
Florida Inland Port
FIP’s interchange hub is integrated with
the warehouses and distribution centers
on the site. Incoming freight is offloaded and stays on-site until leaving for
its ultimate destination. This reduces
impacts on local off-site infrastructure.
