Seaboard Marine wishes to advise our valued customers of Tropical Storm Eta’s impact as we continue to track the storm.
The storm is expected to move over Cuba today and towards the Gulf of Mexico. Portions of the Florida Keys and Southern Florida Peninsula are under a Tropical Storm Warning and Hurricane Warning.
PortMiami is now under U.S. Coast Guard imposed readiness condition Zulu. Our port facility is closed today and will reopen for terminal operations following U.S. Coast Guard safety inspections and the lifting of condition Zulu. The Medly warehouse will reopen at 1:00 P.M. EST, Monday, November 9.
Vessel operations at PortMiami for the M/V Patriot Voyage 254, M/V A/S Samanta Voyage 24, and M/V A.S Sabrina Voyage 20 have been suspended until the storm has passed and operations can safely resume.
Puerto Cortes is open for vessel and terminal operations. Expect trucking delays throughout next week in Central America in the aftermath of Hurricane Eta. Trucking operations in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua are largely suspended until road and weather conditions improve following widespread flooding.
As Eta’s path continues to develop, we will continue to monitor and provide updates on operations and the vessel’s status as developments occur.
The safety of our staff, crews, vessels, and our customer’s cargo is of the utmost importance.
We appreciate the patience and support of our customers during this active 2020 Hurricane Season.
