Notice to our Tenants, Customers and Business Partners:
March 24, 2025
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure port environment, we are implementing an adjustment to the Port Security Fee, as outlined in the JAXPORT Tariff (Item 31-330 and 31-325).
Effective 5-01-2025, the security fee will increase as follows:
Tariff Item #31-325 (Security Fees)
- Containerized Cargo: Increase from $8.25 to $9.00 per container.
- Non-Containerized Cargo: Increase from $4.15 to $4.50 per vessel LOA for non-container vessels.
This adjustment is necessary to ensure JAXPORT remains in full compliance with federal security mandates, particularly those outlined in the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) and U.S. Coast Guard regulation 33 CFR 105. These regulations require ports to implement rigorous security measures, including access control, surveillance, security training, and emergency preparedness, all of which are critical to safeguarding port operations and national security.
JAXPORT continuously invests in security infrastructure, personnel training, and technology enhancements to meet evolving federal, state, and local security requirements. The security fee adjustment will help offset the increasing costs associated with these measures, including but not limited to:
- Compliance with heightened security protocols and MARSEC (Maritime Security) level changes mandated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
- Ongoing security training programs in accordance with 33 CFR 105.215.
- Expansion of access control systems and security badge management.
- Enhanced surveillance and monitoring systems to ensure the protection of port facilities.
These security fees are assessed in accordance with JAXPORT Tariff Rule 31-330 and apply to every vessel utilizing JAXPORT terminal facilities.
Additionally, at the Port’s sole discretion, charges may be assessed to cargo and/or vessels for any additional security costs resulting from MARSEC level changes or other federal mandates.
We appreciate your partnership and understanding as we continue to prioritize the safety and security of JAXPORT and its stakeholders.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
