About PortMiami
About PortMiami’s Entrance Feature
The "Pioneers Walk"
In 2008 PortMiami in collaboration with its cargo partners and the Miami-Dade trade community unveiled an entrance memorial honoring more than 200 men and women from the air, maritime, trucking and rail industries that throughout history contributed to the development and success.
The “Pioneers Walk” symbolizes the historic rise of Miami as a global gateway.
The colorfully illuminated globe sculpture is surrounded by tropical landscape and a monument to industry pioneers.
The Pioneers Walk is located at PortMiami’s entrance near the foot of the port’s access bridge on Biscayne Boulevard.
Powering the Economy
PortMiami is Miami-Dade County's second most important economic engine, contributing $41.4 billion annually to the local economy and supporting more than 324,352 jobs in South Florida. It is recognized as the Global Gateway.
Miami's unique geographic position makes the Port easily accessible to Caribbean and Latin American markets, as well as those of Asia and Europe by way of the Panama Canal.
PortMiami is also known worldwide as the Cruise Capital of the World, welcoming more cruise passengers to its terminals than any other port in the world.
