About
The cruise industry is an important market in Florida, with thousands of passengers embarking and disembarking everyday from ships at Florida’s deepwater seaports. The responsibilities of FDOT’s Seaport Office in the Public Transportation Office, include programs related to seaports, intermodal development,
and planning for freight movement/intermodal connections. The Florida Ports
Council (FPC) is a trade association that represents these seaports. In 1990,
the FPC created the Florida Seaport Transportation and
Economic Development Council (FSTED) that is charged with implementing the
state’s economic development mission. One of the responsibilities of FSTED is
to monitor the local markets and trends at the 14 deepwater seaports in Florida- so that capital investments can be made to stimulate Florida’s economy. The council collects data annually from the individual ports to compile
statistical information.
Two indicators are shown in this section, one monthly and the other annual. The monthly indicator shows the total number of cruise passengers through Florida’s major seaports. Four seaports are accounted for in this indicator: Port of Miami, Port of Everglades, Port
Canaveral, and the Port of Tampa. The other indicator depicting the total number of cruise passengers at Florida’s seaports, includes people on both one-day and multi-day cruises, both embarkations and
disembarkations.
Data is collected from the individual seaports These indicators are updated monthly with a lag time of about three months.
