The Port of Miami is among America’s busiest ports and recognized throughout the world with the dual distinction of being the Cruise Capital of the World and the Cargo Gateway of the Americas.

The Port contributes over $17 billion annually to the South Florida economy and helps provide direct and indirect employment for over 176,000 jobs. One of our primary goals is to promote growth in both our cruise and cargo industries in Miami-Dade County and to make sure that every port user can conduct business safely, effectively and efficiently.

This year’s tour will give you a look at the latest applications and operations in security at the Port of Miami.
