The Tampa Port Authority announced a mutual commitment with Ports America to strengthen port terminal operations for break bulk cargoes, including automobiles and containers.

Paul Anderson, president and CEO of the Tampa Port Authority, and Tom Perdue, president of Ports America, signed a letter of intent last week that will continue an already strong working relationship in the handling of general cargoes.

Ports America is one of the strongest assets at the Port of Tampa and one of our key strategic partners, so naturally we are extremely excited about their continued operations for the efficient movement of break bulk cargoes and containers. Together with Ports America, we are building a truly world-class port and we look forward to many exciting collaborations in the years ahead, Anderson said.
