SSA Marine to expand at Jaxport

SSA Marine and Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) are putting $239m toward expanding the US terminal operator's use of the Florida port.

The port's board of directors approved a 25-year deal with SSA Marine to build out its 50-acre container leasehold at Blount Island by 30 acres by 2023 with the option to add another 40 acres as space becomes available.
