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 be without an accessible fuel source.
As one of the world's largest cruise homeports, Miami welcomed over 8 million passengers in 2024, making this issue a significant concern.
A meeting of Miami-Dade Commissioners discussed the potential problem, with officials recommending a search for a new fuel facility location at the port.
No comment from PortMiami officials is available at this time.
