Customer Advisory: Hurricane Sandy Update, 07 Nov 2012
Port/Marine Terminal updates as follows:
Global Container Terminal:
The outgate is not strong due to lack of truck power, local business status and the fuel shortage at certain parts of NJ. Therefore, yard congestion is not improving. Check their website for more details:

Winter Storm Athena Impact to NY/NJ
Athena is already over the NY/NJ area with winds and flurries being reported. Forecast is still for winds gusting 30-40 mph with a tidal surge of 2-4 ft for around twelve hours from Wed at 05:00 EST. There will be at least one high tide during that period meaning water could be as high as 4 ft above high water. Also those areas that have restored power over the last week may lose power again during the Nor'easter.
