About Port Tampa Bay
Tampa is on Florida's Gulf coast, which means a longer sea leg from Europe than the Atlantic Florida ports because vessels must round the peninsula. In exchange it is much closer by road to central Florida, where a great deal of the state's distribution sits. Container volumes are modest beside its bulk and energy traffic.
