Īs of July 2020, there are seven operating passenger terminal facilities at PortMiami: A, C, D, E, F, G, and J. Over 5.5 million cruise passengers pass through the port each year (FY2018/2019). It accommodates major cruise lines such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney, and MSC, among others, and also serves as the homeport of one of the largest cruise ships in the world by gross tonnage, Symphony of the Seas. PortMiami is the busiest cruise/passenger port in the world. In April 2019, the Miami-Dade Tourism and Ports Committee approved a deal for Royal Caribbean Cruises to build a new office and parking garage on Dodge Island. In 2013, a dredging project began to deepen the harbors around PortMiami from 44 to 52 feet (13 to 16 m). In 2011, a project to reconnect PortMiami to the mainland via railroad began. In 2006, a $40 million project to expand the South Harbor finished. In 1993, the first dredge of PortMiami occurred, deepening it to 42 feet (13 m). Additional fill material enlarged the connected Lummus and Sam's islands as well as the North, South and NOAO slips, creating a completely man made island for PortMiami.
After the seawalls, administrative buildings, and a vehicle and railroad bridge were completed, Port of Miami operations were moved to the new Dodge Island port. The new port on Dodge Island required expansion of the island by joining it together with the surrounding islands. On April 6, 1960, the City of Miami approved City Resolution No. 4830, "Joint Resolution Providing for Construction of Modern Seaport Facilities at Dodge Island Site" was approved by the Dade County Board of Commissioners. PortMiami's improved shipping access and growth of the South Florida community led to an expansion of the port. From these original dredging spoils which were disposed on the south side of the new Main Channel, new islands were inadvertently created which later became Dodge, Lummus and Sam's Island along with several other smaller islands. This new access to the mainland created the Main Channel which greatly improved the shipping access to the new port.
In the early 1900s, Government Cut was dredged along with a new channel to what now is known as Bicentennial Park in downtown Miami.
