A Massport building in Boston was evacuated Monday after a suspicious package was found floating in the water.

The building at 1 Harborside Drive was evacuated shortly after 10:30 a.m. Officials found a shoe box with duct tape around it. Officials did not say what was inside the box, but there were no reports of any injuries.

Massport operates Boston Logan International Airport in Boston, Hanscom Field in Bedford and Worcester Regional Airport in Worcester.

More than 1 million tons of cargo each year pass through Massport's terminals in Boston, according to Massport's Web site. Massport also runs the Tobin Memorial Bridge, which links Boston to the North Shore.
