Multi Use Facilities for a Diverse Cargo Port

Port Freeport brings the world to Brazoria County’s doorstep and is the conduit for the movement of maritime commerce. Port Freeport continuously seeks opportunities to improve port tenants’ and users’ experiences.

The port’s public facilities feature outdoor or indoor cargo storage, modern vessel docks, wide berth aprons and efficient cargo handling equipment. Over 200 acres of improved land is located directly behind the docks and Port Freeport continues to invest in terminal expansion and modernization.

In recent years, Port Freeport has seen financial support in the form of grants from The United States Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Transportation. 

The grant proceeds are funding road improvements, new gate access, larger truck queuing areas and a chilled cross-dock and warehouse. These improvement projects are inside and outside the main terminal and will increase operational efficiency and safety.
