STV today announced it has been selected by the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) to deliver engineering and design services for its new port rail expansion program. The initiative will improve vessel-to-rail connectivity at Talleyrand Marine Terminal (TMT) and Dames Point Marine Terminal (DPMT), supporting Florida’s increasing demand for aggregate imports.

“This project positions Jacksonville to move aggregate cargo faster and more efficiently as demand continues to rise,” said Keith Jackson, senior vice president and Florida district manager at STV. “Our team is designing rail infrastructure that directly improves how vessels, rail and terminals work together to keep the nation’s supply chain moving efficiently and effectively.”

STV will lead engineering and design upgrades at TMT and DPMT, including environmental coordination, phased design documents and support cost estimating and bidding. Working closely with JAXPORT, rail operators and other key stakeholders, the team will deliver an integrated rail network that supports long-term growth at the port.
