Texas has the most robust maritime system in the United States. In 2015, Texas was ranked first in the nation in total foreign imports and exports and second in the nation for total tonnage. The state’s maritime system continues to be a critical gateway to international trade and provides the residents of the state with a multitude of economic opportunities through the movement of waterborne commerce and trade. In 2015, the Texas Ports Association conducted an economic study focused on defining the value of Texas ports to the state and the nation. Maritime activity at Texas ports: • Moved over 563 million tons of cargo including 350 million tons of international tonnage and nearly 200 million tons of domestic cargo • Handled over 1.8 million containers • Served over 1.6 million cruise passengers • Supported over 1.5 million jobs in the state • Provided over $368 billion in total economic value to the state, 23% of the overall state GDP • Generated over $92 billion in personal income and local consumption of goods • Generated $6.9 billion of state and local taxes Texas ports are critical economic engines for their communities and the state. Globally, the maritime industry continues to experience dynamic changes. The recent completion of the Panama Canal expansion project, the shipping industry’s decision to move to larger vessels, and the changes in U.S. law allowing the export John LaRue of crude oil are just a few changes that are creating new opportunities for Texas Chairman, ports. Since 2010, Texas ports have invested over $1.1 billion in capital projects Port Authority Advisory Committee to improve maritime channels, wharfs and terminals and to enhance intermodal 361-882-5633 transportation via railroads and interstate highways in order to leverage these [email protected] opportunities and keep pace with global change.

SeaOne intends to use the Port of Corpus Christi as the point of export of CGL to power generation facilities to be constructed in Colombia in fulfillment of several recently awarded power tenders in the Pacific and Central regions in Colombia as well as a government-sanctioned concession for the development of a major energy port in Buenaventura, Colombia (Puerto Solo) that has provisional Colombian government approval to import as much as 1.9 Million barrels per a day of fuels and feedstocks. Service for these operations will require CGL transport vessels larger than those which can be efficiently operated out of SeaOne’s Gulfport facility. We have entered into land lease negotiations with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, as well as with private landowners within the Port, regarding SeaOne's use of a location within the Port. Conclusion of these negotiations will be contingent on completion of the Department of Energy ("DOE") FTA authorization process, and will be finalized upon issuance of an order approving this application.

Governor Patrick. I would like to thank him for his attention to these essential waypoints of the Texas economy and for the privilege of chairing the Committee. In the past months, my Senate colleagues and I have studied our state’s port assets (both coastal and inland hubs) and paid particular attention to the economic impact of the Panama Canal expansion. We have arrived at a number of conclusions on the matter of what our state’s economy must do to compete and grow. Thanks to the tireless efforts of this committee and the enthusiastic support of port authorities across the state, we have a much clearer picture of the unique role Texas ports play in our state’s economy. They are indispensable gateways to trade and economic growth which have fueled our state’s rise to the top ranking among America’s exporting states. That ranking is reflective of our ports’ ability to handle more than 20 percent of our nation’s total export tonnage. As improvements to the Panama Canal create a flow of larger vessels from distant trading partners, we must ensure Texas ports are equipped to sustain our economic leadership role.

    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.
