Multi-Purpose, Breakbulk and Project Cargo Facilities

Port Houston's multi-purpose cargo facilities stretch from the Turning Basin, the head of navigation since the Houston Ship Channel opened in 1914, to a few miles downstream. Together they form the area's largest breakbulk, steel and project cargo complex.

Facilities

• Turning Basin Terminal, Care Terminal, Jacintoport Terminal, Manchester Terminal
• Sims Bayou Terminal, Southside Wharves
• Bulk Materials Handling Plant and Public Grain Elevator No. 2

Applications

Each facility handles a wide range of cargo, from grain and steel to heavy-lift project cargo and wind turbines and blades, with large laydown areas next to the general cargo and heavy-lift docks.

Ongoing works

Splash-zone repairs to steel bulkheads at the Turning Basin Terminal, rehabilitation of Wharf 9 (~600 LF) ahead of the Project 11 channel deepening, transit shed roof works, and rehabilitation of Wharf 2 at Manchester Terminal.
