Fuel Supply Issue Puts PortMiami Cruise Operations at Risk
PortMiami is facing a potential problem after its fuel depot was sold in September, according to WLRN South Florida.
The port relies on a privately owned bunker on Fisher Island, but with the depot acquired by a real estate investment company, PortMiami may soon lack an accessible fuel source.
As one of the world's largest cruise homeports, Miami welcomed over 8 million passengers in 2024, making the issue a significant concern.
- The potential problem was discussed at a Miami-Dade Commissioners meeting.
- Officials recommended searching for a location to build a new fuel facility at the port.
No comment from officials on the potential impact on cruise operations.
