Port Everglades is a thriving deep water harbor located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, known for its strong economic impact and diverse maritime operations. With over 5,300 ships calling at the port annually, it has established itself as one of the world's best cruise ports and a top seaport for containerized cargo. Conveniently situated near the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport and Florida's highway system, Port Everglades is committed to ongoing capital improvements, environmental protection, and seamless maritime operations.
Spanning over 2,190 acres, Port Everglades is situated within the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach, as well as unincorporated Broward County.
