U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a hurricane warning for the Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland. In preparation of Hurricane Florence, port authorities along the Southeast coast have ordered their marine terminals to close for both truck and vessel traffic for Thursday, Friday and possibly Monday.
Ports already closed include Wilmington and Morehead City in North Carolina; Charleston, Greer, Dillon and Georgetown in South Carolina; and the Virginia Capes in Virginia.
Pending weather conditions, ports of entry (POE) may receive requests to divert vessels or cargo to other U.S. ports.
CBP has issued guidance for port operations to handle any possible diversion requests. To read the complete guidelines click here.
