The Coast Guard captain of the Port San Juan anticipates setting Port Condition X-RAY at 11 a.m. on Sunday for the ports in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgins Islands due to the possibility of sustained gale force winds greater than 39 mph from Tropical Storm Karen arriving to the area within 48 hours.
The Coast Guard strongly cautions the maritime community to remain vigilant and take the necessary precautions as Tropical Storm Karen approaches the islands from the south and continues making its way through the Caribbean Sea.
During Port Condition X-RAY, port facilities are currently open to all commercial traffic and all cargo transfer operations at Coast Guard regulated facilities may continue while X-RAY remains in effect.
