First cruise line from Miami to Cuba gets approval

On July 7th, Carnival Corporation received approval from the US Department of Treasury and US Department of Commerce to introduce the first cruise line to sail from the US to Cuba. Under their newly-formed Fathom brand, this line is set to begin operations in May 2016 and is focusing on “social-impact” travel which falls in line with the approved categories for legal travel to Cuba. The seven-day cruises will be departing from PortMiami with premium pricing, $2,990 per person, and up.

Port Everglades expansion

moving forward

On July 8, Port Everglades gained approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers as well as a commitment of $1.2 million toward its engineering and design phase. The plan to deepen the channels from 42 to 48 feet would allow Port Everglades to accommodate Post-Panamax mega-ships. The $300+ million dredging project is now moving onto the engineering and design phase expected to take up to two years. The following construction phase is expected to take an additional three years.

WTDC has a full range of transportation services available to its customers and makes bookings via Road, Rail, Air, and Ocean on a daily basis.
