Port Canaveral reopens today
Aug 22, 2008


Port Canaveral is scheduled to reopen today following its Monday closure due to Tropical Storm Fay.

Stan Payne, Chief Executive Officer of the Canaveral Port Authority stated "There's no apparent shoaling, or buildup in the channel, and that's a testament to the work we have been doing on the port since the hurricanes of 2004. The weather gave us challenges, but our operations during this storm have been successful."

The closure forced both Disney Cruise Line and Carnival to dock at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. Passengers scheduled to sail on the Disney Wonder on Thursday were bussed to the alternate port.

Payne commented "The weather really made busing the people a challenge, but overall, because we had learned our lessons from before, we had backup generators operating. In 2004 it was a learning experience but this time, we had a firm grasp on what we needed to do, and we have our procedures in place for the future."
