Big news for the Houston Ship Channel region! Port Houston has officially launched Anchored in Action. This past week our team hosted the kickoff event to showcase our community-investment plan designed to directly match neighborhood needs with industry resources.

Developed after an extensive listening tour in 2025 that engaged over 10,000 local residents, this community-led roadmap focuses on strengthening the quality of life across 14 port-adjacent communities—from Denver Harbor and Galena Park to Pasadena and Baytown.

What’s on the horizon?
The framework outlines over 500 potential projects driven by real resident priorities, including:
🚶‍♂️ Safer street crossings near schools
🌳 Expanded green spaces
💼 Job training tailored for port careers
🏗️ Upgrades to shared community spaces

The Commitment:
Port Houston is kicking things off with a $1 million commitment in 2026 to turn these priorities into lasting impact. Industry partners, local governments, and philanthropic organizations are joining forces to maximize regional collaboration and direct resources right where they are needed most.

Together, we are anchoring progress in action.

At Port Houston, hurricane preparedness is a year-round effort focused on protecting people, securing infrastructure, and ensuring the region can recover quickly.

We don’t wait for the storm; we prepare well before it arrives.

Port Houston plays a critical role in the movement of goods across the region and the nation. Our responsibility is not only to operate efficiently, but to ensure we are ready to respond to severe weather in a way that protects people, infrastructure, and the supply chain.

For the safety of our community, we encourage you to prepare for hurricane season as well. Make sure to have an emergency supply kit handy with essentials like flashlights, batteries, a radio, and a first aid kit.

We’ve reached a major construction milestone for Port Houston’s new 75-foot hybrid tour boat.

Shipbuilders just completed the hull flip, a precise maneuver required to transition construction from the outer shell to the interior.

Cranes coordinate to lift and rotate the aluminum catamaran structure. This perspective shows the internal framing before the vessel rests right-side up.

Building the hull upside down allows welders to work efficiently on the outer plating. Now that the hull is turned over, the team can begin installing the hybrid propulsion systems, plumbing, and interior passenger spaces.

Once finished, this vessel will give public tours of the Houston Ship Channel with reduced emissions.

We remember with fondness and respect the legacy of former Port Commissioner Dean Corgey.

Commissioner Corgey was first unanimously appointed to the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority by the Houston City Council in 2013. He served on the Port Commission until last year, after reaching the maximum 12-year term limit of a Port Commissioner.

Dean Corgey was a tireless advocate for workforce development, community engagement, and advancing Port Houston’s mission.

Houston's waterborne tonnage reached 65 million short tons in the first quarter of 2026, a 12% increase compared to last year. Growth was driven by exports, which rose 19% to nearly 54 million short tons compared to the first quarter of 2025.

At our port complex overall, exports of petroleum gases grew 33%, refined products rose 24%, and crude oil increased 19%.

The completed expansion of the Galveston Bay Reach portion of the Houston Ship Channel Expansion continues to help move more cargo safely and efficiently to global markets. Read the full report at https://bit.ly/4ejC5b2
