Gulftainer expands into U.S. with $100M container terminal in Florida
Port Canaveral has entered a 35-year, $100 million agreement with Gulftainer, a global port terminal operator based in the United Arab Emirates, to help increase cargo operations with a new terminal at the Central Florida port.
"We're looking at 500 permanent jobs within the port, and we think the knockdown effect will be about 2,000 jobs for the entire community," said Gulftainer spokesman Peter Richards.
Port Canaveral CEO John Walsh and the chairman of Gulftainer inked the deal at a port ceremony on Monday. It's the first U.S. location for Gulftainer, a UAE company that wants to enter U.S. markets.
