PortMiami is currently facing a potential problem after having its fuel depot sold off in September, WLRN South Florida reported .

According to the local news station, the port does not have its own fuel facility. Instead, it relies on a privately owned bunker located on the nearby Fisher Island.

With the depot acquired by a real estate investment company, PortMiami could find itself without an accessible fuel source in the near future, WLRN added.

As one of the largest cruise homeports in the world, Miami welcomed over 8 million passengers in 2024.

The potential problem was discussed at a meeting of Miami-Dade Commissioners last Thursday, with officials recommending that the county administration look for any possible locations to build a new fuel facility at the port.
