PortMiami has received a $19.5 million grant from the Resilient Florida Program to construct an elevated bulkhead system at Berth 10, protecting the port from rising sea levels and storm surges. The project aims to ensure the port’s continued operation and economic viability in the face of climate change.
PortMiami has become the first major cruise port on the US East Coast to offer shore power connections, allowing ships to plug into the local electric grid and reduce emissions. Carnival Conquest, the first ship to utilize the new system, represents a significant milestone for the cruise industry’s commitment to sustainability.
PortMiami has been recognized as the ‘Best U.S. Homeport’ by Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine, cementing its position as a global leader in the cruise industry. This prestigious award acknowledges PortMiami’s exceptional facilities, diverse cruise offerings, and commitment to sustainability through its Shore Power Program.
