西麥斯宣布已經開始使用第一艘貨船，從它美國坦帕的水泥廠運輸出口水泥。戰略轉變使其坦帕廠由進口運營商轉變為水泥出口運營商，這顯示了國外對西麥斯美國高質量水泥的需求。
由于美國佛羅里達州住宅工業下降，西麥斯的戰略轉換使其坦帕水泥廠轉變為出口廠將有助于重定位國內市場容納力，以滿足國外需求。西麥斯是第一家大規模從佛羅里達出口水泥的水泥公司。
西麥斯坦帕的水泥廠將可出口水泥超過165,000stpa，其主要出口到加勒比海。這些水泥大部分都產自西麥斯Brooksville的一個水泥生產廠。為了滿足水泥需求，西麥斯將用一艘專用貨船十天一次從坦帕運輸水泥到加勒比海。
2008年6月9日，西麥斯獲得希爾斯堡城環境保護委員會的允許，在坦帕建立水泥出口生產廠。

Cemex USA starts meeting demand abroad
Cemex announced that it has loaded the first vessel to begin exporting cement from its Tampa cement terminal. The strategic move to turn its Tampa facility from an import operation into a cement export operation indicates the demand abroad for Cemex USA’s high-quality cement.
Due to the housing slowdown in Florida, Cemex’s move to convert its Tampa facility into an export terminal will help reposition domestic capacity to meet the demands abroad. Cemex is the first cement company to begin exporting cement in large quantities from Florida.
The Cemex Tampa facility will be able to export more than 165,000stpa, primarily to the Caribbean. Most of the cement is produced locally at one of Cemex’s Brooksville cement manufacturing facilities. In order to fulfill the demand, Cemex will be using a dedicated vessel solely transporting cement from the Tampa terminal to the Caribbean every 10 days.
