Norwegian Cruise Line has just begun work on their dedicated cruise port in southern Belize, and now a developer in Belize City is moving forward with plans for a large port on an island adjacent to that city.

San Diego Begins Shore Power Installation

Break out the extension cords. By the end of this year, the Port of San Diego will be ready to offer shore power to those ships which can accept it.

The video below provides some visuals about the project and the construction.
