Board of Directors meeting report -- July 28, 2008

July 28, 2008 -- JAXPORT's Board of Directors took the following actions at their meetings held on July 28, 2008:

Due to cost and potential environmental challenges, the Board decided not to continue to pursue a parcel of property in the Talleyrand area owned by Keystone Coal Co.

The Board also heard reports from JAXPORT Senior Management, including the following project highlights:

Construction projects including the Talleyrand Berth 3 rebuild and the rail improvements at the F&J Duffer Yard have been completed; the new security operations center will be completed this week.

While the turning basin near Dames Point can presently accommodate Panamax vessels, by January 2009 at project completion, it will be large enough for Post-Panamax vessels to turn.

The Board's next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 25, 2008.
