Florida Ports Earn ‘Quest for Quality’ Awards
Readers of Logistics Management magazine have made it known which U.S. ports have risen to the top in service excellence over the past year, and several Florida ports are among those receiving the prestigious Quest for Quality Award.
The Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) earned the highest “Ease of Doing Business” score of any coastal port in North America, while Port Tampa Bay was honored in the Gulf Ports category.
Now in its 42nd year, buyers of logistics and transportation services rank companies based on performance and customer satisfaction during an annual survey. The Quest for Quality Award is one of the most respected honors in the transportation and logistics industry.
“When you consider the service pressures put on the shipper community to avoid service disruptions and meet the increasing demands of today’s market, walking away with Quest for Quality gold in 2025 is nothing short of a monumental achievement for those carriers, ports and service providers winning an award this year,” Michael Levans, Group Editorial Director, Supply Chain Group, Peerless Media.
JAXPORT has received the award five times over the past decade.
“Our team is committed to delivering exceptional service every day, complementing the strong schedule reliability and connectivity our customers expect from Jacksonville,” said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green. “With modern facilities, efficient operations, and continuous investment in our capabilities, we’re proud to offer a seamless gateway to Florida and the Southeast U.S.”
This is the third Quest for Quality Award for Port Tampa Bay.
