The Port of Houston recently handled its largest vessel ever to date—a 11,356 TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit) ship named the Cassiopeia.
It took two days for 7,327 moves to be completed or about 31 per hour.
The Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority has an ongoing Houston Ship Channel Expansion called Project 11. Hydraulic dredging in part of it is expected to be finished in November to help provide a widened ship channel through Galveston Bay to the Bayport Ship Channel.
