Jaxport Doubles Weight Bearing Capacity in 18-Month Project

After an 18-month, $12.4 million reconstruction project, the heavy lift cargo berth at the Port of Jacksonville's Blount Island Marine Terminal has more than doubled its pounds-per-square-foot capability to 1,800 and increased its pounds-per-axle rating, or kips, to 78, it said. Jaxport said it now ranks as one of the nation’s highest weight bearing capacity docks.
