The Port of Miami is among America’s busiest ports and recognized throughout the world with the dual distinction of being the
Cruise Capital of the World and the Cargo Gateway of the Americas. The Port contributes over $17 billion annually to the South
Florida economy and helps provide direct and indirect employment for over 176,000 jobs. One of our primary goals is to promote
growth in both our cruise and cargo industries in Miami-Dade County and to make sure that every port user can conduct business
safely, effectively, and efficiently.
The Port of Miami is now recognized as one of Florida's leading ports in safety and security. Cutting-edge technology and
progressive procedures are in place to provide heightened levels of protection and, at the same time, support compliance with port
business policies. Partners in this comprehensive initiative include: US Customs and Border Protection, US Coast Guard, Florida
Department of Law Enforcement, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Miami-Dade Police,
Fire-Rescue Departments, and others working to achieve a shared, united mission.
