The port of Jacksonville (Jaxport) has approved a 30-year agreement with US marine terminal and logistics company Enstructure for the lease and development of a 79-acre (32-ha) site at its Talleyrand Marine Terminal.
Enstructure is the parent company of Jacksonville-based Seaonus Stevedoring, a current Jaxport tenant operating 35 acres (14.2 ha) of adjacent space at Talleyrand terminal. Combined with its current acreage, the new agreement will provide Enstructure with a total of 115 acres (46.4 ha) at the terminal.
Enstructure will begin leasing the acreage in late 2025 when the current tenant, Southeast Toyota Distributors, relocates to the port’s Blount Island Marine Terminal. The site will be a mixed-use facility, with the ability to handle breakbulk, dry bulk, vehicles and containers.
Matthew Satnick and Philippe De Montigny, co-chief operating officers of Enstructure, said: “Expanding our Talleyrand Marine Terminal operations is a strategic priority for Enstructure and we look forward to working closely with the Jaxport team to further diversify our cargo mix.”
The agreement calls for Enstructure to develop at least 200,000 sq ft (18,581 sq m) of new on-terminal warehousing at Talleyrand, which will increase Jaxport’s covered capacity to handle non-containerised cargo by 20 percent.
The additional warehousing will increase Jaxport’s on-terminal covered capacity to handle non-containerized cargo such as forest products by 20 percent.
