AGS is thrilled to announce the approval of two lease agreements with Port Tampa Bay, marking a significant milestone in our partnership. With over 91 years of experience in port services and a presence in more than 20 countries worldwide, AGS brings a wealth of expertise to this collaboration.
These agreements grant AGS access to prime facilities at both the Eastport and Hookers Point locations. At Eastport, AGS will initially operate on 18 acres, with the potential to expand by an additional 10 acres in the future. Meanwhile, at Hookers Point, we will lease 15 acres, with plans to establish a trans-load warehouse distribution facility, and the option to expand further.
These twenty-year lease agreements, which include extension options, underscore AGS’s enduring commitment to the Port Tampa Bay maritime community. We anticipate a fruitful and enduring partnership with Port Tampa Bay, enhancing our capabilities for efficient cargo movement.
Maximiliano Urenda, CEO of AGS, articulated the strategic significance of this partnership, positioning AGS as a key player in Tampa’s growth as a gateway to Florida and the broader US market. He emphasized the synergies between Tampa Bay’s strategic location and AGS’s global reach in facilitating trade efficiently.
AGS is excited about the opportunity to expand services to the rapidly growing region, aligning with Florida’s status as the fastest-growing state in the US. Our strong history and extensive commercial relationships, particularly in Latin America, make us the perfect partner for Port Tampa Bay in this endeavor.
As Florida’s largest and most diversified port, Port Tampa Bay serves a wide array of cargoes, including break-bulk, bulk, and containerized goods. Its strategic proximity to over 550 million square feet of distribution centers along the Tampa Bay/Orlando I-4 Corridor further solidifies its importance as a vital hub for trade and commerce. Together with Port Tampa Bay, AGS looks forward to unlocking new opportunities and driving mutual growth in the maritime industry.
