Shirley L. Smith, the spokeswoman for the V.I. Port Authority, announced late Thursday afternoon the ports on St. Croix had been reclosed due to dangerous sea conditions.
Smith said the St. Croix ports would open on Friday morning at 8 a.m.
The ports had been opened earlier in the day on Thursday, but Smith said the U.S. Coast Guard determined sea conditions made keeping the ports open unsafe.
