Can ports ban cargo? Lessons from Florida

The ports in Florida have still been smarting from the cessation of cruise traffic, and the landside benefits around port areas, but the good news is that cargo volumes have come back
However, a regulatory challenge to the authority of ports has been working its way through the Florida State Legislature, supported by a consortium going by the name “Keep Florida’s Economy Sailing”. The group, which includes harbuor pilots, tour operators, and restaurant/ hotel interests, has pointed to the deleterious effects on the local economy in Key West- where, in late 2020, local authorities sought to limit crowds from large vessels calling there by banning vessels of more than 1,200 passengers. ....

Cruise bill passes House subcommittee


A proposed bill in Tallahassee that would reverse the new cruise ship restrictions in Key West was approved by a tourism subcommittee in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, clearing the way for the bill to move to the next step.

The amended language removing the other 11 seaports from state oversight was met with sighs of relief from House legislators representing those districts. The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Spencer Roach, R-79th District, told committee members the amended language was a “surgical” effort to overturn the limits on cruise ships Key West voters approved in November. ....

Florida jobless assistance claims drop to new pandemic low. State still fighting fraud
Amid still-rising counts of jobless assistance claims flagged for fraud detection, Florida tallied its lowest level of new unemployment applications since the outset of the pandemic. The U.S. Department of Labor reported Thursday that the state saw 16,100 new claims for the week ending Feb. 20, down from 21,564 the week before. It is the lowest new-claims count since March 14, 2020. The lower count may be the result of fewer claims being officially counted as they are verified as legitimate. More from the Miami Herald, the News Servicce of Florida, and the Tampa Bay Times. ....
