Confidence
medium: The Department of Energy confirms the closures on 2022-09-29 and the full reopening on 2022-10-01, but the closure start on 2022-09-27 rests on trade press quoting a Florida Ports Council post, no Coast Guard notice was retrieved, and the exact reopening time of each port is not given.
First reported
2022-09-27 (27 September 2022)
  • Severity basis: The Coast Guard closed Port Tampa Bay on 2022-09-27 and a US Department of Energy report listed Tampa, Manatee, Canaveral and Jacksonville as closed on 2022-09-29, with all affected ports reopened by 15:00 on 2022-10-01, which falls in the band of 24 hours to 7 days at port level.

What happened

Hurricane Ian came ashore near Port Charlotte, Florida, as a category 4 storm on 2022-09-28 (28 September 2022) and closed several Florida ports between 2022-09-27 and 2022-10-01. The Coast Guard shut Port Tampa Bay on 2022-09-27, and the Florida Ports Council said it also closed St. Petersburg and SeaPort Manatee. Port Canaveral and Jacksonville were reported closed on 2022-09-28. The Department of Energy listed Tampa, Manatee, Canaveral and Jacksonville as closed on 2022-09-29, said fuel terminals at Tampa and Manatee had reopened on 2022-09-30, and reported all affected ports open by 15:00 on 2022-10-01. A rail trade report said the ports largely escaped damage. The sources reviewed give no exact reopening time for each port.
