About Port Everglades
This seaport is located north of Miami in Fort Lauderdale and boasts the motto, "Fast in, Fast out." One of the biggest benefits of using this port for your imports is that there is a significantly smaller backlog of drivers waiting to pick up their respective containers, so getting cargo moved out of the port and onto the road is less of an issue than at busy ports like PortMiami. That being said, it doesn't mean that the process at this port is all smooth sailing either (get it?). Customs and Border Protection has recently cut down on the personnel at this port, which has led to a bottleneck for processing inspections and holds. This means two things:
- Operating costs for offloading are less expensive at this location
- Vessels with a slower transit time tend to offload at this port
Did You Know?
Port Everglades is not only the third busiest cruise port in the world, but is also one of the leading container ports in Florida and handles more than 4,000 ship calls annually.
Why Port Everglades?
What does this mean for you? In short, that you can save money. If you don’t need the speed and efficiency that a location like PortMiami offers and your end users don’t need their goods right away, you can cut ocean shipping costs by choosing to work through Port Everglades. This frees up cash to take care of other important tasks, like paying customs fees, purchasing warehouse space, or preparing imported goods to be exported.
When you use Port Everglades and work with our in-house, licensed customs brokers, you can rest assured that you’re hiring the logistics providers who will help you make the best decisions for your business – whether that means saving money, increasing efficiency, dealing with paperwork, or all of the above. By choosing LILLY, you’re getting a team of brokers who have all the right experience and access to all the right resources – including Port Everglades.
