<div>US Coast Guard Assessment of ports</div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">
<p>Port Au Prince:</p>
<p>Based on a compilation of satellite images, observations from the
CGLO, over flights, and CGC FORWARD small boat crew. Commercial wharf
is unusable, buildings, cranes, and piers are damaged, debris and
containers in the water.</p>
<p>Killick CG base may possibly be used for offloading supplies,
however, limited to small vessels estimated 47 ft or less shallow draft.</p>
<p>Le Ciment Du Sud portion of the pier collapsed, building collapsed,
however depending on the condition of the remaining structure and depth
of channel could possibly accommodate small vessel – require bottom
sounding and inspection of the remaining pier structure. </p>
<p>SouthCom has an ACOE engineer team which did an assessment of the
Port of Port Au Prince, and they have determined that the entire Port
of Port Au Prince is unusable for large vessels. They indicated that at
this time there are no future plans for additional port assessments,
they are focusing on roads, water & hospitals.</p>
<p>Lafiteau:</p>
<p>Received report from CGC TAHOMA indicating that at the rice factory
there are 2 piers, the western pier appears to be structural intact
and is approximately 150-200 ft in length, the eastern pier appears to
have serious structural damage with minimal damage to the loading zone
and approach with an approximate depth 30-35ft.</p>
<p>Aubry:</p>
<p>Received report from CGC TAHOMA Fons Mombin Cement factory pier is
damaged, however it was estimated the pier would possibly accommodate
an SUV the pier is approx 500-600 ft in length bollards seemed to be in
good shape, and appeared it could accommodate a vessel on its east side
with some obstruction on its west side. Water depth varied from 18-24
feet on the west side rapidly decreasing to 7ft, but was to 30-35 ft
on the east side.</p>
<p>St. Marc:</p>
<p> Report from CGC FORWARD initial indication minimal damage
2 operational piers and 1 beach landing area. Connecting roads appear
to be in tact and useable assessment continues. Confirmation from Wharf
Director, Crescie Pierre that the Pier at St. Marc is operational, pier
is approx 60 meters long with 5 cleats with access to main road. Mr.
Pierre can be contacted on CH 16 or #36869239.</p>
<p>Gonaives:</p>
<p>Received information report from unnamed US maritime industry
official indicating that the Port of Gonaives is operational, the World
Port Source indicates the port depth is 21 feet, there is little or no
apparent damage to the pier, and there is a 180 ton functional crane on
the pier.</p>
<p>An over flight was performed by a CG CASA aircraft, confirming that
HWY 1 between Gonaives and Port A Au Prince.</p>
<p>Port de Paix:</p>
<p> Overflight conducted 15 Jan, port appears to be operational
with minimal to no damage.</p>
<p>Labadie:</p>
<p> Overflight conducted 15 Jan, port appears to be operational
with minimal to no damage. Informed that the Haitian government is
talking with RCL to try and get them to return as early as the 26th.</p>
<p>Cap Hatien:</p>
<p> CGC VALIANT is scheduled to conduct port assessment 15 Jan
A.M. Upon arrival vessel crew observed that there were commercial
vessels at the pier, no confirmation yet as to extent of operations.</p>
<p>Miragoane:</p>
<p> Overflight conducted 15 Jan, port appears to be intact with
minimal damage, but the road to Port Au Prince is blocked by boulders
in 2 locations.</p>
<p>Jacmel:</p>
<p> Overflight conducted 15 Jan, port appears to be intact with
minimal damage, but road to Port Au Prince is likely to be in poor
condition, could not be verified.</p>
