GOOD DAY TO ALL
THE PORT OF CHARLESTON SC IS CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO HEAVY FOG.
AS OF NOW THE VISIBILITY SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.
THERE IS NO IMMEDIATE PLAN TO OPEN THE HARBOR AS OF NOW.
WE HOPE THE RESTRICTIONS SHOULD BE LIFTED AT APPROX 1400/9TH.
WE WILL KEEP ALL NECESSARY PARTIES CLOSELY ADVISED.
