The Port of Tampa is located on the western coast or Suncoast of Florida, exactly 35 miles from open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The boundaries of the Port district includes parts of Tampa Bay, Hillsborough Bay, McKay Bay, Hillsborough River, and Old Tampa Bay.
The port of Tampa is the largest port in the State of Florida, and ranked as the thirteenth largest port in the nation in 1997. Although there are Bulker and Tanker ships, most of the ships that sail in and out of the Port of Tampa are General Cargo ships.
Tampa is also one of America's most popular departure ports for western Caribbean cruises. Five cruise lines sail from the port: Carnival Cruise Lines, Crystal Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, Holland America Line, and Celebrity Cruises.
