Broward County offices, including Port Everglades administration offices, will be closed on Thursday, September 7. However, Port Everglades will continue normal operations until further notice. Port Everglades anticipates that the U.S. Coast Guard will issue orders for Hurricane Condition X-Ray (48-hour alert) at noon on Thursday, September 7, Hurricane Condition Yankee (24-hour alert) at noon on Friday, September 8. The U.S. Coast Guard will set the timing for Hurricane Condition Zulu based on the track of the storm. Descriptions of the Coast Guard’s hurricane conditions are published on their website and on the Port Everglades website. Cruise passengers should check the cruise lines for updated travel information. All container and cargo ship and landside operations will continue in accordance with the setting of U.S. Coast Guard Hurricane Conditions. Petroleum tankers and ocean-going barges are continuing to deliver gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other fuel products to the Port. While gas stations may be running low on fuel, the petroleum companies that operate at the port will continue delivering fuel as long as it is safe for their drivers and they maintain an adequate reserve supply. The petroleum companies will begin releasing their reserve supply once the storm passes and it is safe to make deliveries.
