Port Condition Zulu activated

The U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) announced that Port Condition ZULU, which is a 12-hour alert in anticipation of gale force winds, will be set for Port Everglades at 2200 (10 PM) last night (5 October).

Port Everglades remains open to outbound truck activity, including outbound petroleum delivery. Waterside facilities will remain closed until the passage of tropical storm force winds and the COTP, in conjunction with the Strategic Weather Advisory Team, has determined that it is safe to reopen waterside operations based upon:

  • Port and waterway damage survey assessments
  • Aids to navigation verification
  • Status and condition of drawbridges
  • Re-establishment of required port security measures in accordance with respective Facility Security Plans
