The U.S. Coast Guard has permitted inbound vessel movements. Each vessel entering the Port of NY/NJ is subject to Coast Guard examination. Inspection duration is approximately two (2) hours. This procedure is also in place for U.S. West Coast ports.
All highways and access roads to the port area are open.
Labor returned at 6:00am (EDT). Productivity on the terminals and gates was good. Truck traffic was moderate while deliveries to and from the railroads were operating well.
Howland Hook experienced some phone line outages and was also impacted by intermittent bridge closings at Staten Island.
(Cruise vessels will likely not call New York for the balance of the cruise season. The cruise terminal is being used for recovery operations.)
