Port Tampa Bay terminal operators have fuel ready to deploy, but many remain without power on Friday morning, according to OPIS citing port officials.
- Restoring power remains an issue after Hurricane Milton although there was no widespread flooding at the facility.
- 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.
- Nearly half of Florida's supply of petroleum and refined products passes through Port Tampa Bay.
