Utilizing the Port Bureau's special relationship with the Houston Pilots Association, the Marine Exchange has the most detailed information available for vessel movements along the Houston Ship Channel. For $200/month, members can receive a daily email at 0400 detailing departure and arrival times from each terminal.
The Marine Exchange produces a daily movement report detailing arrivals and departures for the ports of Galveston, Freeport, Texas City, Sabine, Port Comfort/ Lavaca, Corpus Christi, and Brownsville for $150/month.
We also offer ETA reports for all of the same ports for which we provide arrival/ departure reports. One of the important parts of any business is being prepared - knowing what's going to happen before it does. For $200/month, the ETA report lets you know what's coming into the ports of Texas up to two weeks before they arrive.
Looking for a ship? The Port Bureau Watchdog service will find your vessel anywhere in the globe, and send you an alert when your vessel reaches a port of your choice. For $25/month plus a $100 setup fee per order (no limit on the number of ships) you receive an email the moment your ship arrives, 24/7/365.
Available on request, we are here to serve our members: let us use our experience to help you with regulatory issues, safety, security and environmental response questions, and adding value using business intelligence. We maintain over 10 years of vessel movement data for Texas Ports and can provide commercial studies, berth and facility utilization analyses and more.
