Guardians,
The picture shown here is what is left of the commercial container port in Port Au Prince. The warehouse on the right used to be adjacent to the pier where containers were offloaded. To the left is a barge that is spudded down and acting as a offload platform for containers while the port is rebuilt. At the far right end of the barge you can see a crane. That crane formerly sat on the pier and is now in the water. The entire area between the barge and the warehouse is where the container pier used to be.
Our thanks to RDML Sam Perez (USN) who is leading the port reopening. Thanks also the Coast Guard Maritime Transportation Recovery Unit and USCGC OAK for their critical effort in support of port reopening.
