Inclement Weather Affecting USVI Seaport Operations

The Virgin Islands Port Authority announced that Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas has canceled its scheduled call to the Austin “Babe” Monsanto Marine Terminal in St. Thomas on Wednesday, July 3, 2024.  The cruise ship has changed its itinerary due to the inclement weather caused by Hurricane Beryl that is affecting the Winward and Eastern Caribbean islands.

VIPA also alerts the public that rough seas may affect marine operations at the Wilfred “Bomba” Allick Port and Transshipment Center (the Containerport) this week at Krause Lagoon in St. Croix.  VIPA will continue to monitor the weather and safety conditions at its seaports and update the public regarding any changes.

The territory’s airports in St. Thomas and St. Croix are open and operating as normal.
