Can we map this port assessment and think through routes for logistics? 
Do we have a logistics expert we could add in?

US Coast Guard Assessment of ports

Port Au Prince:

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.

Killick CG base may possibly be used for offloading supplies, however, 
limited to small vessels estimated 47 ft or less shallow draft.

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. 

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.

Lafiteau:

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.

Aubry:

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.

St. Marc:

          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.

Gonaives:

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.

An over flight was performed by a CG CASA aircraft, confirming that HWY 
1 between Gonaives and Port A Au Prince.

Port de Paix:

         Overflight conducted 15 Jan, port appears to be operational 
with minimal to no damage.

Labadie:

         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.

Cap Hatien:

         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.

Miragoane:

         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.

Jacmel:

         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.
