About

The Port of Corpus Christi was born in 1922 after an election, and the port opened in 1926 with a statewide celebration after the channel was dredged; its first business was the Aransas Compress Company (cotton). Over the following decades the channel was repeatedly deepened, and the Ship Channel Improvement Project is deepening it to 54 feet (MLLW). Foreign Trade Zone #122 was established in 1985.

The Port Police operate a 70-foot MetalCraft Marine Firestorm fireboat, 44-foot MetalCraft Marine Interceptor patrol boats and outboard-powered security boats. The port's mission is to leverage commerce to drive prosperity for Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend.
