What do Ships do to Avoid a Hurricane?<\/h3>\n

\"PreparingWhen a hurricane hits, many boats will need to make decisions on where to be when that happens. To keep it short, there are two things you can do: Sail away and Tie it Up.<\/p>\n

Tying it Up<\/strong> \u2013 It’s pretty cut and dry, all that needs to be done is you find a floating dock with high pillings. This lets you tie your boat up so that it can accommodate the higher waves while still keeping it attached to the mainland.<\/p>\n

How does Port Miami prepare for a Hurricane?<\/h3>\n

Port Miami has to prepare in several ways for a hurricane. A port must manage the incoming and outgoing boats as well as ensure the port is properly managed and secured.<\/p>\n

Boats Must Re-Route<\/strong> \u2013 Every boat must re-route their arrival to a nearby and safer port. For example, many of the carnival cruise lines that were going to Miami for Hurricane Irma instead went to New Orleans to avoid the storm.<\/p>\n

\"FloatingSecuring the Dock<\/strong> \u2013 Next and most important is securing the dock. Most of the docks at Port Miami are floating docks which need to have additional security on land. Additionally, office buildings need hurricane force windows as well as shutters to ensure no intrusions occur in the buildings.<\/p>\n

Alerting<\/strong> \u2013 Finally, there is typically an issued public statement. During Hurricane Irma, the website produced this webpage for people to know that the terminal is closed until Irma completely passes.<\/p>\n
