Damage to a bollard structure south of North Cargo Pier 2 will cost $500,000 to repair and will take up to three months to replace, officials said.
North Cargo Pier 3 was also damaged, according to officials.
The damage comes as Port Canaveral harbor is currently under construction to accommodate larger cruise and cargo ships.
Although cargo operations will be impacted, port officials say cruise ships will be able to pass safely.
