Not every day Pensacola gets a visitor like this.

The ODIN, a Borr Drilling premium jack-up rig, is docked at the Port of Pensacola before heading out to the Gulf of America.

The Port of Pensacola was proud to welcome representatives from the Florida Commerce Office of Long-Term Resiliency — Garnet Nevels, Amanda Iscrupe, and Jody McCormick — for a tour today of the transformative construction progress underway at the facility through the Community Development Block Grant-funded Road and Rail Rehabilitation Project.

These critical investments are helping the Port address long-needed infrastructure improvements, including extensive paving and waterline repairs, the replacement of rail lines to maximize operational efficiency, and enhancements to the Port's cathodic protection system to better safeguard infrastructure against future storm damage.

We are grateful to Florida Commerce for its continued support of the Port of Pensacola and its commitment to strengthening Florida's transportation and economic infrastructure. We look forward to building on this partnership and pursuing future opportunities that advance the Port's resilience, efficiency, and long-term growth.

Proud to have tenants doing this work every day.

National Maritime Day is a reminder of just how much this industry means to our city.

This week, maritime leaders, partners, and advocates came together to celebrate the people and work that keep our waterfront moving. The Port of Pensacola was proud to be part of the conversation.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and Ms. Lauren Rand, Florida Department of Transportation Seaports Office Director, for giving the Keynote speech. Congratulations to this year's award winners who represent the strong maritime community in Pensacola and well done to the Pensacola Propeller Club - Bay Area Port of Historic Pensacola for organizing this great event.

We've got a good thing going. Those were the words then and they still hold up today. A look back at Pate Stevedoring, one of the Port of Pensacola's longest standing tenants.
