Jacksonville just landed another BIG fish. One of the largest in the World, CMA-CGM The French National Flag Carrier. This will give us direct service throughout the Med., North Africa, Europe and Middle Eastern markets DIRECT. They have a special interest in chilled cargo, foods, medications and high end goods.

Play this right and we may get yet another "home port" terminal out of it.

Man, great things sure are happening at JaxPort.
Amazing that while Sunrail just fell apart, and Tri-Rail could be following it, whats the likelyhood of Tampa getting a tax for rail passed? Meanwhile Jacksonville, the redheaded stepchild of Florida's major cities, and the one voted most likely to look like Mobile, Alabama by 2060, is on a roll...
Jacksonville, not only has the money for rail, right now, ready to use, our port is an economic miracle that promises to keep us out of the same sewer the rest of the country has fallen into.
Bravo JaxPort, well done! Hey maybe a large new European Lines Terminal, Hamburg Sud, CMA CGM,
Italia Marittima...etc
As they say over at the Zeppelin Corporation, "UP SHIP!" BRAVO!
