  • Port officials are working with local utility TECO Energy and are "hopeful the fuel terminals can be re-established" on Friday.
  • The port is in talks with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's office about the facility's fuel to determine “whether to bring in additional resources to the area."
  • Martin Midstream yesterday said Tampa Fuel Terminal was to resume full operations within days, Reuters said.
