Port Tampa Bay Sends Fuel Tankers to Hurricane-Affected Areas

Fuel tankers have finally begun their journey from Port Tampa Bay to supply gas stations in areas devastated by Hurricane Milton.

On Friday, Mayor Jane Castor addressed the situation, revealing that the fuel terminals at Port Tampa Bay had been surrounded by rainwater, significantly hampering the supply chain. “That is the issue with gasoline right now,” Castor explained. “We have plenty out at the port. It’s getting from the port to the gas stations because of the flooding around those storage tanks at the port.”
