Savannah’s port, closed ahead of Irma, could reopen as early as Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Tampa’s sprawling port, which mainly handles bulk cargo like cars and fuel, was cleared to reopen Tuesday afternoon. The port at Charleston, S.C., which said it was suspending operations Monday afternoon as a weakened Irma barreled north, expects to reopen Tuesday. There are currently about 10 ships queued up to the northeast of Savannah, waiting out the storm, he said. Four petroleum-carrying vessels were waiting to bring much-needed fuel into the port as soon as it reopened, port officials said.
