Houston Pilots

Port Houston is the largest container port on the U.S. Gulf Coast, handling about 70% of all Gulf container traffic. Its Barbours Cut and Bayport terminals are equipped with state-of-the-art cranes that unload massive ships carrying thousands of TEUs, making it a vital hub for global trade. #shippilots #porthouston #houstonshipchannel #containerships #vessels #globaltrade #globaleconomy #Houston #houstonpilots

Fall sunsets in the Gulf of Mexico are especially vibrant because of the drier, clearer air! In the fall, cold fronts start to sweep across the region, lowering humidity and scattering fewer particles in the atmosphere. This allows more vivid reds, oranges, and purples to shine through, creating breathtakingly colorful sunsets over the Gulf waters. #shippilots #gulfofmexico #houstonshipchannel #maritime #sunsets #texassun #porthouston #houstonpilots #texassunset

Had a fantastic time attending The Nautical Institute US Branches 2024 Biennial Conference at Texas A&M University Galveston Campus this week and serving on the panel titled “How the Shipping Industry Needs to Adapt to Increasing Social Media and News Presence.” Grateful for the insightful discussions and the opportunity to connect and reconnect with fellow professionals in the maritime industry!
