Port of Palm Beach handles fuel shipments
The Port of Palm Beach last week handled a barge carrying 93,000 barrels of diesel fuel, initiating service for a new line of cargo.
The shipment was delivered to South Florida Materials Corp., a port tenant since 2004 that has previously specialized in handling liquid asphalt at its terminal. Fuel delivered to the terminal is distributed by truck to customers around South Florida.
The Port of Palm Beach is best known for its container and general cargo shipments, primarily moved by Tropical Shipping, but the port has been expanding into other specialties the last two years.
