About the Port of Everglades (Cruise Port Information)

Originally known as Bay Mabel Harbor, Port Everglades was officially established as a deep water harbor in 1927 by the state legislature and dedicated in 1928. The Port has since grown to become one of South Florida's strongest economic engines with annual operating revenues of more than $89 million and total waterborne commerce exceeding 22 million tons in liquid, break bulk and containerized cargoes.

More than 5,400 ships call at Port Everglades in a year forming the basis of a diverse maritime operation that includes a thriving cruise industry and a reputation as the "world's premier cruise port," a growing containerized cargo business that establishes Port Everglades among the nation's top seaports, a major petroleum storage and distribution hub, South Florida's primary bulk cargo depot and a favorite U.S. Navy liberty port.

The seaport is renowned for its commitment to ongoing capital improvements, environmental protection and convenient maritime operations with unbeatable connections through the adjacent Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the direct links with all of Florida's highway system via I-595.
