  • July 28, 2021 – Port Houston Reopens Container Terminals
    For immediate release July 28, 2021 PORT HOUSTON REOPENS CONTAINER TERMINALS Hardware Matter is Resolved BAYPORT TERMINAL PERMIT IS RENEWED AS IMPORTS CONTINUE TO POUR IN AND JUNETEENTH HOLIDAY RECOGNIZED Photo Caption: Port Houston’s busy Bayport Container Terminal HOUSTON –Truck gate operations have resumed Thursday afternoon at Barbours Cut and Bayport Terminals, following resolution of computer hardware issues that closed both terminals to truck traffic for two and a half days. “Extended gate times are planned through the weekend - or as long as needed – until business is caught up,” Port Houston Executive Director Roger Guenther said. Guenther expressed regret to customers and partners, including truckers, and appreciation for their patience while resolving the issue. Guenther said, “We will take a strong look to find what caused the problem, and measures will be put in place to help prevent it from happening again.” In more Port Houston news, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers renewed the federal permit for Port Houston’s Bayport Terminal. This significant milestone was officially announced and applauded during the July meeting of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority held last week. This crucial permit allows Port Houston to continue its master plan for construction to build out the Bayport Terminal, which includes its current $200 million expansion program to complete Wharf 6, Container Yard 2, and other projects – part of Port Houston continuing efforts to remain ahead of accelerating demand. Port Chairman Ric Campo also announced Port Houston was on track in the coming weeks to enter into a Project Partnership Agreement or PPA with the Army Corps, a key step in Project 11 widening construction program of the Houston Ship Channel.
