A cold storage warehouse in Florida’s largest port, Port Tampa Bay, is under construction by Port Logistics Refrigerated Services. The 134,000 sqf on-dock warehouse will be able to accommodate chilled and frozen products. The facility’s 9,000 pallet positions will handle palletized breakbulk cargo and refrigerated containers. Built on a 13.7 acre site adjacent to Berth 219, the facility will feature 96 refrigerated container plugs, onsite USDA/CBP inspection and fumigation services and a dedicated Gottwald mobile harbor crane. With nearly $15 billion in annual economic impact, Port Tampa Bay is Florida’s largest port and the largest economic engine in west central Florida.
“We are excited about this opportunity to partner with Port Logistics Refrigerated Services and Dick Corbett,” Port President and CEO Paul Anderson says in a statement. “This project supports our strategic plans for growth and diversification, as well as our recent terminal expansion investments, including the new post-Panamax container cranes which were commissioned in July.”
