Georgia Ports Authority has announced that major ports in Georgia are taking precautionary measures ahead of Tropical Storm Debby. The Port of Savannah will be closing its terminal at 3 p.m. ET today and is scheduled to reopen with a delayed start on Wednesday. Similarly, the Port of Brunswick will not be receiving inbound vessels until the storm passes and the Coast Guard issues an all-clear signal.
Colonels Island and Mayor’s Point Terminal gates are set to close at noon today and are expected to reopen on Wednesday, pending favorable weather conditions. These closures are part of the ports' efforts to ensure the safety of personnel and vessels during the severe weather conditions expected from Tropical Storm Debby.
It is crucial for the ports to take these proactive steps to minimize any potential risks and disruptions caused by the approaching storm. By temporarily suspending operations and securing the terminals, the Georgia Ports Authority aims to safeguard the well-being of all individuals involved in port activities.
As the situation continues to evolve, the ports will closely monitor updates from weather authorities and adjust their schedules accordingly. The safety and security of port operations remain a top priority, and the ports will resume normal activities once the storm has passed and conditions are deemed safe for operations to resume.
