Commercial cargo companies and terminal operators are among the tenants leasing the largest total acreage at the Port – approximately 160 acres, and who have been growing the volume and type of cargoes transiting Port Canaveral.

The Port’s diversity is shown in its vast array of tenants ranging from the commercial space industry, restaurants, commercial fishing businesses, recreational marinas, and U.S. government agencies.
