We would like to inform you that a hurricane watch was issued Tuesday, October 4 as hurricane Matthew moved through the Caribbean. Hurricane-strength winds would reach Florida midday Thursday, and the storm could linger there into Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The US Coast Guard has placed all South Florida Ports, including Port Everglades, under Hurricane Port Readiness Condition X-Ray and expects to set Port Readiness Condition Yankee tomorrow at 04:00. Under Condition Yankee, SeaLand will not be allowed to receive any containers either loaded or empty. We will be open to deliver imports and empties to the truckers. Our Business Continuity team is reviewing the situation around the clock. If we have any additional updates, we will continue to communicate with you. You will be informed directly by your local SeaLand representative if there is impact to your shipments. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please contact your Customer Service representative.
