6 PORT FACTS 2015

The Port of Brownsville is a dynamic deepwater facility which continues to grow and adapt to ever-changing demands of the global marketplace. The board of commissioners, port director and staff members know the importance of having the Port of Brownsville prepared to meet any challenge. The Port is constantly working to improve and expand not just its infrastructure but most importantly increase employment opportunities in the area.

 Cargo diversification took a significant step forward in 2012 with the movement of windmill components (blades, towers) in addition to other commodities such as petroleum products, steel (plate, slabs, coils), iron, aluminum billets, lubricants oils, and paraf- fin wax, among others. Today, the Port of Brownsville moves more steel into Mexico than any other port in the United States.

 In 2015 the port opened a new cargo dock, referred to as Dock 16. The new dock enhances the port’s expansion in its cargo handling efforts and has the versatility to keep pace with the growing demand for handling multiple commodities. Dock 16 also serves as the port’s second heavy-load capacity dock and increase efficien- cies by eliminating or minimizing potential vessel delays.

 In response to the growing demand for heavy cargo handling capabilities the port purchased a second mobile harbor crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 125 tons. The addition of the crane improves the port’s productivity and enhances its reputation of reliability in handling and moving cargo. In addition to its lifting capacity, the crane also has a maximum radius of 51 meters or 167.32 feet and is powered by an environmentally friendly low- emission diesel-powered generator. The new crane’s handling capacity includes dry bulk, heavy lift cargo and containers.

 It is important to mention the expanding liquid cargo business at the Port of Brownsville. A liquid cargo company recently ex- panded its presence in the port with a new bulk liquid terminal facility. The new facilities began operations in the second quarter of 2016 and will ultimately increase the volume of petroleum products moving through the port.

 Port tenants are expanding their operations and making improvements to their current sites.

 Major capital projects were completed in 2012 such as the Road Improvements Project and the Seafarer Center. Completion of the SH 550 Entrance Canopy project, the new Command and Control Center, and the dock lighting was done in 2013. The port is currently working on the Foust Road Canopy project.

The Port of Brownsville continually strives to maintain its competitiveness and is ready to embrace the future demands of the global market.
