For over 56 years, growth has been a constant for Aqua Gulf. What started with one man and one truck has grown into a logistics-providing powerhouse with a fleet of over 125 trucks and warehouses throughout the East Coast, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. As we enter our 57th year, we look forward to continued growth in all services we provide.
Green Initiatives
Our Key Cargo Marine warehouse in Jacksonville has 1,795 solar panels on the roof, making it the second-largest solar array in Jacksonville. In 2022, roughly 1,850 tons of Co2 emissions were saved, equaling 27,817 trees being planted. In 2023, Aqua Gulf’s green initiative will continue to trend upward as energy conservation is projected to provide payback on the system over the next year. After that, KCM Jacksonville will be producing free energy for the next 25+ years.
Aqua Gulf is also increasingly reducing its carbon footprint by continuing to utilize consolidated shipping through our successful Top Load Program. This is an incredibly efficient method of transporting cargo as it reduces the number of trucks on the road while maximizing the amount of freight transported. More products, in fewer containers, at a lower cost is a win-win-win for businesses utilizing our services.
Aqua Gulf Xpress continues our green initiative by adding new aerodynamic trucks powered by fuel-saving engines with lower emissions, as well as real-time diagnostics. Having your cargo safely delivered on time is a priority. To make sure, we have an industry-leading safety team that not only sets hiring standards but road safety as well. Our team has created and implemented initial driver training as well as continuing education protocols, creating a culture of safety in the company.
International
Aqua Gulf is the number one third-party logistics provider to Puerto Rico, continuing our growth by opening our warehouse doors there this past April. In 2023 Aqua Gulf’s international division will continue to offer services such as intermodal shipping and warehousing for customers who look to globally expand their business. Because we provide end-to-end supply chain management, you can count on accessibility and transparency throughout the entire process – anywhere in the world.
Domestic
Since 1966 our customer base has grown year after year. In 2023 our customer base will continue to expand through Aqua Gulf Freightshare, our third-party trucking brokerage division. By partnering with independent truckers across the nation, we are extensively expanding our trucking reach to get your cargo to its destination. In addition to our Key Cargo Marine warehouses, we also have established relationships with warehouses around the country for your business's needs.
As we have always aimed to provide, Aqua Gulf will continue to find services and solutions for our customers in the New Year. We are experts in navigating the ever-changing landscape of supply chains and any other economic headwinds. If you are looking to expand your business domestically or internationally, we can help.
