Port Canaveral is a cruise, cargo, and naval port in Brevard County, Florida, United States. The port has the busiest cruise terminals in the world.
In 2022, the port had over 4 million passengers passing through it during the fiscal year.[3] Additionally, over 5.4 million tonnes of bulk cargo moves through each year.[4]
Primary cargoes include slag, salt, vehicles, containers, petroleum, heavy equipment, lumber, and aggregate.[5] The port has conveyors and hoppers for loading products directly into trucks and facilities for bulk-cargo containers. The channel is about 44 feet (13 m) deep.[6]
The port exports fresh citrus; bulk-frozen citrus juice stored in one of the largest freezer warehouses in the state; cement; and building materials. The port receives lumber, salt for water-softening, automobiles, and steel sheet and plate. It transships items for land, sea, air, and space.
On average, ten ships enter the port each day. This includes ships from cruise lines such as Carnival, Disney, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and more.[7][8]
