Board of Directors meeting report -- Aug. 26, 2008 Aug. 26, 2008 -- JAXPORT's Board of Directors took the following actions at their meetings held on Aug. 25, 2008:
The Board authorized JAXPORT staff to purchase two parcels of property on Dames Point, east of SR-9A. Owning these properties secures JAXPORT’s borders and assists with environmental mitigation.
The Board also heard engineering, marketing and financial reports from JAXPORT Senior Management, as well as the following:
Blount Island cranes The severe weather downburst that left two Paceco cranes inoperable also potentially damaged three container cranes located on the east end of the dock: a Hanjung crane, the remaining Paceco, and an IHI crane. JAXPORT conducted an emergency request for quotes with firms interested in removing the debris and repairing the three damaged cranes. Rigging International was awarded the contract based on their experience, cost, equipment and availability. Debris removal is expected to take about four to six weeks.
JAXPORT’s replacement cost insurance will cover the replacement of the two inoperable cranes with ones similar in size, type and quality, as well as the cost of debris removal and dock repairs. Additionally, the port’s business interruption insurance could be used to pay for the relocation of an IMPSA container crane from the Talleyrand Marine Terminal to the Blount Island Marine Terminal.
The Board's next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 22, 2008.
