Known as the Cargo Gateway of the Americas, more than a dozen of the world’s top shipping lines call on PortMiami. In 2012, PortMiami's total TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) were just under one million, a modest increase over the previous year. Since 2009, the Port's cargo traffic has increased a little more than 13% and this growth is expected to continue as infrastructure improvements like the Deep Dredge and the Intermodal / Freight Rail Restoration come online. PortMiami hopes to double its cargo throughput before the end of the decade.
