Port profile · Jacksonville, Florida · absent from every capture · 07/26–07/29/2026
Port of Jacksonville has no place in any table on this site and no figure of its own anywhere in it, and the second half of that is the unusual part: this port’s name does not occur in a single query, question set, related set, autosuggest list or keyword set behind any of the forty-nine cards — including its own.
That is a statement about the sixty queries this site was built from, not about the port. Sixty queries chosen for a container-cost cluster do not measure how much anyone cares about a port; they measure what those sixty queries returned.
Our own capture set, 07/25–07/29/2026.
Port of Jacksonville is named by none of the nine carriers and has no authority rule we could locate. The three start hours this site holds all belong to other ports, and the nearest of them belongs to a neighbour on this port’s own routing: Savannah, whose Rule 34-025 begins the count at the first 12:01 AM after discharge.
That rule is Savannah’s. It is the only authority rule read end to end anywhere on this site, and it says nothing about this port.

Port of Jacksonville is named in five of the nine tariffs — Hapag-Lloyd under both haulage types, ZIM, Yang Ming, and COSCO at its inland rail port — and carries ten rate lines with a median of $265. Nothing else about its costs has been read.
Our own routing map sends Atlanta cargo through three ports on one coast — Savannah, Charleston and this one — and only the first of the three carries a median. That is a fact about our reading and about our routing decision, not a ranking of the three.

Nine US import demurrage tariffs · read 07/28–07/29/2026. A median for this port is never derived from a neighbour’s, and the priced neighbour is one click away, which is exactly why the rule exists.

Port of Jacksonville has no terminal named in anything we hold. One correction belongs here, because a reader would otherwise be misled by our own keyword set: the terminal name that appears in this page’s recorded vocabulary is Bayport, which is a container terminal at Houston. It reached this page through our keywords rather than through anything about this port, and nothing about it is carried across.

Port of Jacksonville has no primary source read and no capture at all. It sits at the bottom of this ledger beside Baltimore, and the tie is not broken in either direction — separating two ports we have read nothing about would be ranking our own search rather than their disclosure.

| Read: nothing about this port. This port may publish every row above; we have opened none of them. The discipline on this page is the same as on the Baltimore profile and the finding is not: there, a neighbour carries a figure this port does not and our record cannot say why. Here, the port is absent even from its own vocabulary. | ||

Port of Jacksonville is one of three ports our own map routes Atlanta cargo through, alongside Savannah and Charleston. That is our routing decision rather than a fact about railroads, and only one of the three carries a median.

|---|---|---|
| Atlanta | road, or rail from a ramp we have not named | not publishedgap F |
| Florida markets | road | not publishedgap F |
| A named rail ramp | not checked yet | not checked yet |
Which port Atlanta cargo should actually enter through: which port your atlanta cargo should enter through. What the road leg costs from each port, and why that column is empty everywhere: what the road leg costs from each port.
Your box lands elsewhere on the coast and the tariff that applies is the one where it landed — possibly at a port that does carry a named rate.
Who pays depends on the cause: the carrier for its own schedule change, the shipper for a late gate-in.
It stays behind while the ship sails, and the cause decides the payer.
Carrier for overbooking; shipper for late gate-in or missing paperwork.
A customs or agency hold does not stop the clock; free time keeps running while the container sits.
Cargo interest pays the days.
Your rate comes from a group written for ports the document does not list, so it can move without this port being mentioned at all.
Cargo interest — ask which group line was applied and for its definition.
Both of the first two have their own page: when the ship skips your port and what to do when the box will not move.
Port of Jacksonville demurrage arrives on a carrier’s invoice, not the port’s, and that invoice answers to a federal rule: 46 CFR Part 541, in force since 05/28/2024. The rule has been before the D.C. Circuit twice since, and the decision of 09/29/2025 changed who may be billed — so the text to read is the current one at eCFR, not a summary of the 2024 announcement.
This block and the crisis cards above are the two parts of this profile that work in full, because they describe the carrier’s invoice rather than the port. The sequence here: establish which group line was applied, ask for its definition in writing, and check that this port falls inside it.
What the invoice has to contain, and how the dispute runs: the federal rules your invoice has to meet.
Descriptive, not legal advice. The tariff and the invoice in your own file govern your case.
Port of Jacksonville sits in a metro we have not counted in the Federal Maritime Commission’s register of ocean transportation intermediaries. Two port areas have been counted — 95 organisations at Los Angeles and Long Beach, eleven at Savannah — and both counts belong to those two port areas rather than to this one.

Nothing else has been read or located: no authority tariff, no terminal tariff, no volume release, no dwell figure, no fee schedule, and no capture of any kind. How each status is defined, and the full register of what has not been read: how every figure here is sourced.
We cannot say. No rate line extracted from the nine import tariffs names this port, so the figure a box pays comes from each carrier's group for ports it does not name separately. The check available today is to open your own tariff and find which group Jacksonville falls into.
Not answerable, and we do not rank it below either. Savannah is the only one of the three ports feeding Atlanta with a median — $260 across seven tariff lines — and Charleston and Jacksonville both carry none. The absences describe the tariffs' grouping and our reading rather than the ports.
Not checked yet, and worth a caution: this port's own keyword set carries Bayport container terminal, which is at Houston. Nothing we hold names a terminal here. The terminal on your booking, its address and its gate hours are the three things to obtain.
Unknown to us. No carrier names this port and no port authority document has been located for it. Its neighbour on the same routing, Savannah, has the only authority rule read end to end anywhere on this site — free time starting at the first 12:01 AM after discharge — and that figure belongs to Savannah.
No dwell figure of any kind has been read for this port. Dwell also means several different things — import dwell, rail dwell and yard dwell disagree with each other by a factor of two at ports that do publish them — so even a single number would need its measure named.
No comparable rate set exists for any US port in a dated source with a stated sample size. This line is empty at every port on this site rather than at this one in particular, which is a different kind of absence from the rest of this page.
No volume figure for it has been read here, and no position column exists anywhere on this site. The figures we hold for other ports carry different measures and different periods, so even a figure for this port would not produce a rank.
Because Charleston's capture named three container terminals and an address, and this port has no capture at all. Both are in the same state on the cost side: neither is named in any tariff we read.
Because nothing in our material mentions it. Across every query, question set, related set and keyword list behind these forty-nine pages, this port's name does not occur — including in its own. That is a statement about our captures and not about the port.
