Port Tampa Bay’s Board of Commissioners have approved two lease agreements with Agunsa, for facilities at the port’s Eastport and Hookers Point locations.
AGS provides ocean transportation and logistics services including port terminal services, ship operations, vessel agency, warehousing, trucking and airport services.
Under the 20-year lease agreements, AGS will operate on 18 acres at Eastport, with the ability to expand an additional 10 acres in the future. They will also lease 15 acres at Hookers Point, with plans to develop a trans-load warehouse distribution facility and the option to expand at that site.
“We look forward to a long-standing and mutually successful partnership with AGS. They are trusted and experienced shipping and logistics experts, and will add immensely to our port’s portfolio of services for the efficient movement of cargo,” said Paul Anderson, president and chief executive officer, of Port Tampa Bay.
