Clear sailing for Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral, which was closed to commercial shipping nearly a day longer that other Florida Atlantic Coast ports impacted by Tropical Storm Ernesto, was fully opened by the U.S. Coast Guard Thursday.
The Coast Guard was conducting waterway safety assessments, looking for hazards in the water and checking to see that navigation aids were working properly.
Even after the port was opened to commercial traffic, the Coast Guard urged caution and asked mariners to keep a sharp lookout for hazards in the water because the initial assessment was considered a preliminary check that would require follow-ups.
