So, why should you ship your car from the port of Pensacola?

The port of Pensacola is a one-stop shop when it comes to the services they offer users of the harbor. Shipping companies have access to all the marine terminal services for unitized freight, special project cargo, bulk, and break-bulk cargo. In addition, access to the port has been made available through roadways, rail tracks, and a queuing area that allows 45 trucks to park at any one time. To ensure that quality services are maintained at the port, the facility is regulated by the city council of Pensacola.

Facilities at the port of Pensacola lie on a 50 acre piece of land on which various buildings have been set up. The acres are divided among a variety of facilities that include marine terminals, a stevedoring suite, an enterprise zone, and a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). The marine terminals, which are used for cargo operations, take up most of the space, with uncovered storage taking up the least space. Even so, the management of the port has set aside 8 to 10 acres of the land for future development.

Storage space at the port measures well over 37,000 sq meters which is ideal for transit shipping and general cargo. Auto transport companies that are involved in shipping cars to or from port of Pensacola, Florida, can use the existing warehouses for storage of cars for both short and long term periods. The nine warehouses have different dimensions making them ideal for vehicles such as SUVs, ATVs, motorcycles, and boats; all automotives often shipped by A-1 Auto Transport. Even so, automobile carriers using the harbor must adhere to the size and weight limits that have been put up by the port authority.

The Port of Pensacola has a deep berthing space which can be used by both public and private users of the port. It has 8 berths that are used for mooring vessels of different lengths into the harbor. Stevedoring services are also available at the port with majority of the workforce being skilled in handling of heavy lift cargos.
