The Port of
Houston Authority offers enhanced services to help our
customers in conducting international trade. This section
can provide tremendous assistance to motor freight carriers
by:
•
Allowing
truck drivers to determine if an inbound container
is released for pickup, or if enough empty containers
have been picked up to fill an export booking.
•
Detailed
information on how to get in and out of our container
terminals efficiently, the documents to have, and
the procedures to follow on terminal.
•
Maps to
assist both in getting to the terminal and in getting
around terminal grounds.
Customers needing assistance with
importing or exporting via ship or other mode of transportation
may call 800-688-DOCK (3625).
Other customers will find:
•
Information
about vessel traffic at the public wharves, what
ships are in port and what ships are expected to
arrive in the next few weeks. Vital specifications
of each wharf are available for download and printing.
•
The complete
text of the various Port Authority tariffs are provided
in Adobe PDF format. Tariffs provide for the rates,
rules and regulations governing the use of Port
Authority facilities by all users.
•

all parts of the world by referencing the All Water
