Why Choose Port Freeport

Built for Business. Positioned for Growth.

Our growth is a result of collaboration and a vision for the potential of the port. We offer facilities that accommodate the needs of a variety of cargo types. We continue to invest in the port. We’ve built new docks and acquired additional cranes. The Velasco Terminal and the inner harbor operate as multi-purpose terminals. We have the fastest transit time on the Gulf Coast with only an hour from the pilot’s station to inner harbor. Through strategic initiatives such as the Freeport Harbor Channel Improvement Project we will be the deepest port on the Gulf coast with a maximum depth of 56 feet and an operational depth of 51 feet. The support of the local organizations and key partnerships help us continue to thrive and build for the future.
