Jacksonville is predominantly industrial. This thanks the city in particular the industrial port, which is one of the main shipping ports for automobiles in the United States. The port also serves as a base of the U.S. Navy. But this fact has been found to the chagrin of the automotive industry. Military shipping has in the port priority, which is the main reason why for example Daimler treats the importation of its vehicles for the South-Eastern region since 2009 in nearby Brunswick. The St. Johns River flows near Jacksonville in the Atlantic. The harbor is actually in the St. Johns River.
