Container Terminals

The Port of Houston handles about 70 percent of all the containerized cargo in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Port of Houston Authority ‘s container handling facilities are among the finest in the nation, providing efficient and cost-effective service.

There is a tentative agreement between USMX and the ILA.

Our various online systems allow steamship lines to make bookings, and brokers and truckers to monitor bookings. Online manuals for using our cargo tracking systems are also offered. When deciding which container terminal to use, steamship lines can see schematics of our cranes and review other essential information such as tariffs. Berth applications, vessel and holiday schedules are also available in this section.

Truckers can find 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. This information includes maps for each facility.

The Port of Houston Authority understands how critical time and efficiency are to the many customers and users of the port.
