The small boat seen in photograph is the sheriffs department making sure no one gets in the way as
the Oasis backs out of its berth. The ship is extremely maneuverable and can make a 360 turn
spinning on its axis using 4 bow thrusters and rear azipods that can each rotate 360 degrees.
More than 5,300 ships call at Port Everglades in a year forming the basis of a diverse maritime
operation that includes a thriving cruise industry and a reputation as the "world's best cruise
port," a growing containerized cargo business that establishes Port Everglades among the nation's
top seaports, a major petroleum storage and distribution hub, South Florida's primary bulk cargo
depot and a favorite U.S. Navy liberty port.
The seaport is renowned for its commitment to ongoing capital improvements, environmental protection
and convenient maritime operations with unbeatable connections through the adjacent Fort
Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and the direct links with all of Florida's highway
system via I-595.
