Bayport

The most modern and environmentally sensitive container terminal on the U.S. Gulf, the Bayport Container Terminal provides customers cost-effective, efficient cargo handling. When fully developed, this state-of-the-art terminal will have a total of seven container berths with the capacity to handle 2.3 million TEUs on a complex which includes 376 acres of container yard and a 123-acre intermodal facility.

There is a tentative agreement between USMX and the ILA.

The terminal’s environmental benefits include the preservation of 956 acres of diverse coastal habitat, 200 acres of new marsh, 173 acres of wetlands created or enhanced, and the preservation of a 128-acre buffer zone. The facility will generate more than 32,000 jobs, and add approximately $1.6 billion to the Texas economy through wages and tax revenues.

A computerized inventory control system tracks the status and location of individual containers. The terminal also features electronic data interchange capabilities.
