Port Everglades of Fort Lauderdale, Florida recently established its Year 2020 Strategic Master Plan as planned by TranSystems Corporation to include five, ten and 20-year comprehensive development visions. The Master Plan called for an enhancement of cruise and cargo facilities within Port Everglades' Northport, Midport and Southport site areas with the intent to propel the port to new heights for primary business. Currently, the Port reflects primary business lines within the Caribbean cruise market and containerized Latin American trade — and provides South Florida's gateway for liquid and dry bulk cargoes. To meet the forecasted future demand for cruise services, roughly seven million passengers by Year 2020, TranSystems Corporation planned and conceptually designed a world-class International Cruise Complex which will accommodate a maximum of six Eagle Class cruise vessels simultaneously for Northport. A second Northport cruise complex will establish facilities to accommodate four additional mega-cruise vessels by use of a unique bi-level finger pier. Port Everglades will then offer 13 cruise terminals of which ten can support mega-cruise ships. And, capital investment in these cruise facilities will position the Port as the premier South Florida gateway to the Caribbean. To alleviate passenger and vehicular congestion at both the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the seaport serving cruise passengers, TranSystems is currently assisting Port Everglades and the Broward County team with a feasibility study for "People Mover" system as a transportation solution. The project will explore the use of an automated overhead fixed guide way transit system, along the lines of the Seattle Monorail, or other similar facilities to move people. "People Mover" comprises an integral portion of the Port Everglades Year 2020 Strategic Master Plan, and is planned to alleviate vehicular and passenger congestion both at the Port and at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
