Tropical Storm Isaac is nearing Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic at this time and shipments moving to or through these ports will be affected. The U.S. Coast Guard closed all ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to incoming commercial ships and warned that all commercial vessels bigger than 200 gross tons must leave or obtain permission to remain in port. The storm was 75 miles (120 kilometers) east-northeast of Dominican Republic early Wednesday afternoon and south of Puerto Rico. Isaac is moving west and is expected to become a hurricane by Thursday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

According to the NHC, Isaac should move through the Leeward Islands this evening and over the northeastern Caribbean Sea Thursday.

Our operations teams will update notes and ETA's in our Track & Trace system as appropriate.
