Port of Pensacola 2020 Annual Report Earns AAPA Communications Award


The Port of Pensacola received a Lighthouse Communication Award of Excellence from the American Association of Port Authorities for its 2020 annual report, “The Waterfront – 2020 State of the Port.”

The AAPA Lighthouse Awards recognize ports for excellence in communications, environmental improvement, facilities engineering and information technology. Entries are judged by an independent panel of experienced communication professionals on:

  • Situation analysis and research
  • Identification of audience, goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics
  • Quality/clarity of content and style
  • Skillful use of copy, photography, design, layout and graphics
  • Evaluation methods used to determine communication's success
“Lighthouse Awards are the port industry’s foremost recognition program, and we are glad to be recognized with an Award of Excellence in the Communications category during AAPA’s annual conference held this year in Austin, Texas,” Port Director Clark Merritt said. “This is just another example of the ongoing successes we are seeing at the Port of Pensacola, and I am excited to continue moving the port forward as an economic driver for the City of Pensacola.”

The Port of Pensacola’s 2020 annual report highlighted a prosperous year of revenue increases, business development and continued growth at the port.
