The Journal of Commerce reports:

Hurricane Sandy, October 29

Hurricane Sandy, October 29

The Port of New York and New Jersey remained closed on Wednesday, while all other ports in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic reopened by Wednesday morning following the passage of Hurricane Sandy.

The terminals in New York Harbor could remain closed for at least another day as port officials waited to assess the damage and regain power cut off by the storm.

“Please be advised that the entire port has sustained devastating damage and flooding,” a bulletin on Maher Terminals’ Web site said. “We are waiting for permission from Port Authority to access the terminals so we can determine the extent of the damages.”
