The Propeller Club of Port Everglades held its annual Christmas dinner at the Lauderdale Yacht Club on Friday, December 6.
The keynote speaker addressed the industry-wide danger exemplified by the recent explosion in the Port of Miami caused by an improperly containerized electric vehicle. The blast field was 50 yards x 100 yards and as one commentator said, “The top of the container was ripped off like it was a sardine can.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhalYA5Z2KY
