NEWS & MEDIA

Although many of our operational areas are closed to the general public because of security, safety, and operational concerns, the Port makes allowances for the media to visit Port facilities and properties, when possible. We strive to accommodate media on Port-owned and controlled property.
Your cooperation with media visits to our facilities is appreciated. All commercial photography/filming and drone footage requires special written permission by Port Administration with at least a 24 hour notice.
You can also follow us on our social media networks to see what is happening around the Port.
