Canaveral Port Authority has agreed a lease of up to 25 years giving cargo operator GT USA another 10 acres at North Cargo Berth 6. The planned site improvements include at least 15 hurricane-resistant warehouses with nearly 170,000 square feet for breakbulk and general cargo, including lumber, steel and project cargo.
On 24 September 2026, Canaveral Port Authority announced a lease agreement of up to 25 years with GT USA for an additional 10 acres beside the operator’s existing 20-acre site at North Cargo Berth 6. The lease takes effect immediately. Planned improvements include at least 15 hurricane-resistant warehouses totalling nearly 170,000 square feet, intended to handle, store and process breakbulk and general cargo such as lumber, steel and project cargo. The Port Authority said the expansion builds on a container service launched earlier in 2026. The announcement concerns planned site capacity; it does not say that the new warehouses are already operational.
