Port of Port Arthur
Handling more cargo than it has in a decade, the Port of Port Arthur is enjoying diverse inbound and outbound activity as it continues expansion and looks to derive additional benefits, including project cargo moves, from several billion dollars of petrochemical industry projects taking place in the Golden Triangle region.
Leading the way on the import side are forest products, including dimensional lumber from Romania and Russia, as well as aluminum from Argentina. Hot exports from Port Arthur include steel pipe to Africa and wood pellets and kraft linerboard to Europe, plus low-sulphur diesel fuel and military cargos.
The project to expand Berth 5, creating 600 additional feet of berth space plus more backlands for outdoor storage, is progressing on target for fall completion. Meanwhile, design of a new Berth 6, with a 1,000-foot berth and related infrastructure, is 90 percent complete and positioned to advance next, with the $55 million endeavor supported in part by a $20 million federal grant. And Port of Port Arthur officials are actively seeking to secure additional land to accommodate even more future growth.
