PUNTA GORDA, Florida–During the height of the supply chain crisis, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis invited global shipping companies to utilize Florida’s ports to ease the burden on backlogged California ports and expedite deliveries.

DeSantis announced on March 4 that Sea Lead, a major container service, will be docking at JAXPORT as the last port of call on the Asian East Coast (AEC) rotation, thus connecting Jacksonville to four Asian locations. According to Sea Lead’s website, the new weekly service will commence March 7, 2022.
