HIVIDE SHIPPING INC is a harbour facility located at 2200 Eller Dr, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States. Operating in the marine utilities sector, this facility supports shipping and cargo handling activities in the Port Everglades area, a major hub for containerized and bulk cargo on the Atlantic coast. As a harbour facility, HIVIDE SHIPPING INC operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including the US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP) for vessel discharges and the NPDES program for shoreside stormwater management. The facility's operations are subject to IMO MARPOL Convention requirements for waste reception and pollution prevention, given its role in international shipping. The facility's location in Fort Lauderdale places it within a region with significant coastal and marine ecosystems. Its operations involve cargo handling, which requires careful management of stormwater runoff and oil-water separation to minimize environmental impact. The harbour contributes to the local economy by facilitating trade and maritime commerce.

The harbour is situated in a coastal area with sensitive marine habitats, including seagrass beds and coral reefs. Cargo handling activities, particularly for bulk and containerized goods, necessitate robust stormwater management and oil-water separation systems to prevent pollution. The facility's proximity to urban areas also requires careful noise and air quality management.
