Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Secretary of the U.S. Navy Carlos Del Toro held a news conference and announced that Miami, Florida will host the U.S. Navy for Fleet Week during the week of May 7-13, 2024. The week-long celebration will feature ships from the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard.

The 1,000 twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) M/V Seaboard Blue, previously known as the M/V Elbblue, was retrofitted in 2017 with the capability of running on both LNG and diesel fuel. The vessel was the world’s first container ship converted from conventional diesel propulsion to LNG.

This week, PortMiami welcomed the CMA CGM Osiris, a Neo-Panamax vessel and, the largest container ship to dock at PortMiami to date. With a capacity of 15,536 TEU’s (twenty foot-equivalent unit), the Osiris is currently on the Manhattan Bridge shipping route connecting China to U.S. East Coast Ports.  

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava appoints Hydi Webb as Port Director.  Webb served as Deputy Port Director from February 2018 to January 2022 before being tapped as Interim Port Director.
