The port is open but is only operating at 50% of pre-storm capacity. The port has temporary aids to navigation in place and the main channel is clear. Draft is limited to 38 feet due to shoaling. Restoration of the channel is estimated to be completed in May 2006. The port is not expected to return to full operation before mid to late October at the earliest. Cold storage facilities were completely destroyed. Recovery time is estimated to be one year. Damage estimated for the Public Ports is approx $15 million. CSX mainline is cut just west of the port. Rail traffic can only move to the east.
