Freeport Container Port (FCP) commenced operations in 1997. It is located on Grand Bahama Island – one of the largest islands comprising the Commonwealth of the Bahamas – about 100 miles from the port of Miami, Florida. It is currently the deepest container terminal in the region and serves as a major container transshipment hub for the eastern seaboard of the US and the principal east/west line-haul routes through the region.

With its dedicated staff and use of leading-edge technology, including real-time communications and port-management systems, FCP is capable of handling the largest container vessels in the world. Upon completion of the US$250 million Phase V Development, FCP will have total quay length of 1,536 metres, a yard area of 63 hectares, a depth alongside of 15.5 metres and 16 super-post-Panamax quay cranes.
