New Orleans Port Opens
The Port of New Orleans resumed commercial operations Wednesday, with the first vessel loaded with general merchandise heading out since it was closed by Hurricane Katrina more than two weeks ago.
“The ship is leaving as we speak,” Paul Zimmermann, the port’s director of operations, told Reuters by telephone.
He said the vessel, Lykes Flyer, was heading to Brazil, Argentina and Mexico with an assortment of products after unloading a cargo of coffee from Brazil.
