Construction also began on a new automated parking access and revenue collection system at cruise terminals that Port Commissioners approved last year.

The new automated system becomes operational in August.

“The Canaveral Port Authority is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior,” said Rosalind P. Harvey, Senior Director of Communications & Community Affairs at Port Canaveral in a press release.
