Florida Shipper's goal is to help our readers by providing them with valuable information that will help them do their jobs better. We accomplish this through a twofold approach:

• Editorial coverage of international trade and transportation that impacts shippers and carriers serving Florida. The coverage is designed to give readers useful insights into trends and opportunities affecting their business.
• Sailing schedules of ships serving ports around the world.

EDITORIAL COVERAGE:

Container shipping and port developments in Florida are the primary subject matter. The opportunities and obstacles facing Florida companies looking to increase their imports and exports and diversify their overseas sourcing are the second key area. We also report on logistics, air cargo and technology affecting trade and transportation in the state.

We spotlight key markets in the Caribbean and Central and South America, the regulations and pitfalls that can trap unwary traders, and the public and private resources that can assist them.

We analyze the pros and cons of using different shipping routes, strategies and transportation modes.

Special reports focus on such subjects as countries and regions engaged in trade with Florida, individual ports and port ranges affecting the Florida market; trade routes between Florida and key markets; and different modes of shipping, including breakbulk, refrigerated goods and roll-on, roll-off cargo. Industry experts offer nuts-and-bolts advice in guest columns.

SAILING SCHEDULES:

Our Sailing Schedules provide a comprehensive listing of the sailings by ocean carriers from Florida ports to hundreds of destinations worldwide.

The schedules provide essential information required by shippers responsible for booking cargo, including the ocean carriers serving their overseas market, ports of departure, departure dates, overseas ports of call, arrival dates and contact information for the carriers.
