Strengthening our relationship with Jacksonville’s longest-running trading partner 🤝 JAXPORT leadership recently traveled to San Juan to join the Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) in hosting the inaugural Puerto Rico - Jacksonville Ports and Partners Summit on the island. Jacksonville is the number one port in the United States for trade with Puerto Rico, handling nearly 90 percent of all sea trade between the island and the U.S. mainland. “The synergy and symbiotic relationship between Puerto Rico and Jacksonville are strong and critical. This summit is a testament to that sense of fellowship, friendship, and partnership," said PRPA Executive Director Joel A. Pizá-Batiz. The summit featured discussions about best practices in various areas, including business continuity, infrastructure upgrades, grant pursuits, and sustainability. “Many of the goods our neighbors on the island use every day come from Jacksonville, and it is an honor and a privilege to serve their community in this role,” said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green.
