Managing your Port of the Miami River


The Miami River Marine Group (MRMG) is a private port cooperative of cargo carriers and marine related industry veterans dedicated to preserving the Miami River as a working river and providing the highest levels of professional services.

In the past ten years, improvements in local and international economies have been reflected by an increase in the activity and vitality of the working river.

Goods shipped from the Miami River are sent to over 80 ports of call in the Caribbean and Central and South America.

Just as Miami serves as the gateway to the Americas, the Miami River serves as the shallow draft port for foreign flag vessels coming from similar shallow ports in this part of the world (shallow drafts are necessary for the Miami River which is only 15 feet deep).

The labor force of the river terminals is privatized, multi-cultural, and fluent in several languages. The independent nature of Miami River terminals makes them strongly competitive in the region.

Most cargo generating from the river is containerized, although approximately 20% is bulk and break bulk; the latter is especially true of the smaller Haitian vessels that traffic in foods, furniture, rice, and transportation equipment. Apparel bound for the Dominican Republic is a major commodity shipped from the river.


Located in the heart of the city, the river offers special challenges for cargo carriers. The narrowness of the river -- in some places only 150 feet wide -- is a constraint to commerce in that it limits the size of the ships that can navigate the river's narrow angles. River depth also limits the load that a cargo ship can handle, and bridges and tidal cycles limit the times when large ships can travel on the river. Nevertheless the MRMG member carriers and their support tugs -- P&L Towing--provide efficient and timely departures and safe arrivals under all weather and tidal conditions.


 These are the dues-paying members who have set aside longstanding competition to join in the Miami River Marine Group and guide the Port of the Miami River past the impediments of selfish gain toward a progressive and sustainable community of commerce. When in doubt, go with a member of the Miami River Marine Group, there are hundreds of years of experience available here.
