The Port of Pensacola is an operational deep-water port located on Pensacola Bay. With origins dating back to 1743, it is now one of the City of Pensacola's Enterprise Operations, having been incorporated in 1943 as the Municipal Port Authority.

The present-day Port of Pensacola occupies approximately 50 acres of landfill at the southern terminus of Barracks Street in downtown Pensacola, on the site of the former Commendencia Street and Tarragona Street wharves. The Port has eight 33' deep draft berths, 265,000 square feet of warehouse space, and on-dock rail service.

Port Pensacola is located on the Gulf of Mexico only 11 miles from the first sea buoy with no overhead obstructions - one of the quickest transits in Gulf of Mexico. Class 1 rail line (CSX), Interstate system (I-10 Interstate), Pensacola International Airport (most traveled airport along the Gulf of Mexico coast between New Orleans and Jacksonville, Florida) – all modes directly accessible from the Port.

Port Pensacola, strategically positioned along the Gulf of Mexico, is Northwest Florida’s most diverse and business focused deep-water port. Port Pensacola is a full service port offering stevedoring and marine terminal services for all descriptions of bulk, break-bulk, unitized freight, and special project cargo.
