Louisiana ports reopen following Francine, vessels dock at Texas terminals

Reuters09-13

HOUSTON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Most terminals in Louisiana including the key ports of News Orleans and the deepwater Louisiana Offshore Oil Port $(LOOP)$ are back in service following storm Francine, according to reports by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Texas ports including Texas City and Lake Charles that reopened earlier this week following Francine were on Friday servicing tankers, according to vessel monitoring data by LSEG.

Post-tropical Francine has been moving northwest to the Mississippi River since Thursday night, hitting portions of the Mississippi Delta, Alabama, western Georgia and the Florida panhandle with heavy rainfall, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The risk of flooding is expected to continue across the Tennessee Valley through Saturday.
