Jacksonville welcomes Hoegh Jacksonville to biggest car exporting port in US
Hoegh Autoliners has docked its newest car carrier, the 57,280-gross ton Hoegh Jacksonville, on its maiden call to its namesake city, now the No 1 US port for vehicle exports with an annual throughput of 630,000 units.
The ship, named after the company's busiest port, is the first of two sister ships able to carry 6,500 vehicles, reported the American Journal of Transportation of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Hoegh Autoliners, a leading global provider of vehicle transport, operates out of Jaxport's Blount Island Marine Terminal. Jacksonville also now serves as the company's US headquarters, which relocated from New York last year.
The company operates 60 ocean carriers and has a worldwide network of 20 offices in four regions.
Said Jaxport chairman John Falconetti: "Hoegh has become an important part of our community and a vital component of our port business."
