Port Manatee recently received its first shipment for its newest terminal operator, Carver Maritime Manatee LLC, when a ship delivered nearly 48,000 metric tons of raw material for cement manufacturing. The port signed a long-term marine terminal operating agreement with Carver, a subsidiary of the New York-based company Carver Companies, last August. Since that deal was finalized, Carver has extensively renovated a 10-acre cargo facility with deepwater access, including rehabilitating a 1,400-foot-long conveyor system.
