Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong, the world's largest port operator, was drawn to Freeport's strategic location and deep harbour facilities. The company partnered with the GBPA to develop a world-class container port, which is now capable of handling 950,000 container movements per year. In less than 10 years, Freeport's Maritime Centre has grown to include Freeport Container Port, Freeport Harbour Company, Bradford Marine Limited, Hemisphere Container Repair, and the Grand Bahama Shipyard where you will find the largest floating dry dock on the Eastern Seaboard and in the region. The Freeport Maritime Centre has earned worldwide recognition as a leading facility for global shipping and support services.
