What happens (after hurricane Irma) if the Fort Lauderdale port has damage?

From the Port Everglades website:

 

The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port has approved daylight vessel operations at Port Everglades. Ships scheduled to arrive include:

 

• Carnival Conquest
  
  
• Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas
  
  
• Carnival Splendor
  
  
• Three petroleum tank ships

Cruisemapper shows Conquest, Splendor and Harmony berthed. It's open for business.

Hopefully the bunkering supply and infrastructure (tugs and barges) are all up. Not sure what loads the first few tankers in will be carrying, my guess is gasoline and jet. We are currently on the way there with 12 million gallons of jet.

I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms (and empty tanks) :D Stay safe.

Guessing since PE was cleared for daylight ops only, ships will overnight there.

When Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, I believe it took the Port of Galveston some 5 or 6 weeks to repair and start sailing again. For those weeks when the Port of Galveston was in repair, sailings used the Houston Bayport Terminal. It is a nice terminal, that is something that could be used in an emergency for some cruises.......just a thought.

 

It took 11 days. As others have posted it's been converted for other commercial use now. That build it and they will come mentality failed for a Bayport. No long term contracts were ever signed.
