  • US Development Group to Open State-Of-The-Art $130 Million Multi
    US Development Group to open state-of-the-art $130 million multi-modal terminal in Port Arthur Project to create more than 1,200 construction jobs and more than 40 long-term jobs in Jefferson County PORT ARTHUR, Texas — (December 15, 2020) – US Development Group, LLC (USDG), through Port Arthur Terminal LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, today announced the development of a multi-modal oil handling terminal in Port Arthur, Texas. The terminal is specially designed to handle DRUbit™, a proprietary blend of Canadian heavy crude oil formulated to be non-hazardous and non-flammable for transportation by rail. Scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2021, the Port Arthur Terminal represents a capital investment of more than $130 million that is expected to bring more than 1,200 direct and indirect construction jobs to the City of Port Arthur and Jefferson County as well as more than 40 full-time jobs once the facility begins commercial operations. “USDG is pleased to be part of the Port Arthur community and construct the first-of-its-kind destination terminal,” said Dan Borgen, US Development Group CEO and President. “By giving producers in the Canadian oil sands a safe and efficient means of transporting product to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries and manufacturers, we anticipate the new terminal will represent a long-term investment for USDG with continued growth. We look forward to playing a role in the economic prosperity of Port Arthur and Jefferson County in the coming years. Moreover, USDG’s patented DRUbit™ process produces a non- hazardous transportation product that has great economic benefits for Port Arthur area refineries.” “We would like to recognize several city and county leaders who were instrumental in making the Port Arthur terminal project come to fruition, including the Honorable County Judge Jeff Branick and the Jefferson County Commissioners, the Honorable Mayor Thurman Bill Bartie and the Port Arthur City Council, City Manager Ron Burton and their combined staffs.

  • Lone Star State Ports Setting Records, Enhancing Diverse Cargo Infrastructure
    Lone Star State ports setting records, enhancing diverse cargo infrastructure by Paul Scott Abbott 5 hours ago | Published in Issue 704 Page 1: Port Houston Page 2: Port of Port Arthur Page 3: Port of Beaumont Page 4: Port of Galveston Page 5: Port Freeport Page 6: Calhoun Port Authority Page 7: Port of Corpus Christi Page 8: Port of Brownsville With record cargo volumes seemingly becoming commonplace, ports throughout Texas are assertively forging ahead with a multitude of infrastructure enhancements to handle even more activity in the future. Recent developments include not only expansions of on-terminal capabilities but also, in a number of cases, the advancement of deeper, wider ship channels. Beginning with Port Houston, the longtime No. 1 U.S. foreign tonnage port, then heading east to the Sabine-Neches Waterway facilities of Port Arthur and Beaumont before taking a southwestward jaunt along the Texas Gulf Coast to just north of the Mexico border, here’s the latest going on at key ports of the Lone Star State: Port Houston Marking a fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth in containerized cargo volume, Port Houston handled a record 2,987,291 twenty-foot-equivalent units in 2019 while adding three new container services and two general cargo liner services. Loaded container exports, buoyed by shipments of polyethylene resins, led the way with a 17 percent year-over-year increase. Overall tonnage moving through Port Houston public facilities also reached an all-time high last year, rising 5 percent over the preceding 12-month period, to 37.8 million tons.
