    While many businesses continue to leave California for Texas and elsewhere, international shipping companies have been increasing their operations in Florida, with one launching a new service on the East Coast, and its first port in Florida, bypassing the West Coast and California ports.

    Sea Lead Shipping Pte Ltd, a privately owned global shipping line headquartered in Singapore, announced the launch of a new service linking ports in East Asia with ports on the East Coast of the United States — the first port being JAXPORT in Florida.

    Sea Lead Shipping "will be moving part of their operations from California to JAXPORT in order to bypass heavy congestion at the Port of Long Beach," Gov. Ron DeSantis' office announced. It will be "the first U.S. East Coast container service for the company and JAXPORT will serve as the last port of call on Sea-Lead's Asia East Coast rotation, connecting Jacksonville to 4 locations in Asia."…

    This is good news! A good way to break the logjam in west coast ports. This will ease supply chain problems. Florida has been trying to help for some months now.

    More great right to work jobs to be had in southern states ports. Ships can get to Florida and unload faster than waiting in line off LA/Long Beach.

    Wonderful.

    this is how California is brought to its knees. Slowly over time with good policy in other states.

    Keep it up America.

    Good move. If any employees want to relocate, they can enjoy no state income tax in FL.

    JaxPort had capacity but not nearly enough to put much of a dent situation. I am glad them step up and use the port here.

    Ships coming from Asia will be adding a lot of miles to the trip.

    But with the log jam they can get to Florida or Georgia and unload before unloading after waiting in line at LA/LB

    I have faith in the governor and people in Florida that if capacity is an issue they will expand.
