Capt. Eric Carrero testified before the Texas House Transportation Committee on behalf of our port region, highlighting the critical importance of the Houston Ship Channel to Texas and the nation.

The Houston Ship Channel is a cornerstone of our economy, supporting thousands of jobs, connecting Texas businesses to global markets, and serving as a vital gateway for energy, petrochemicals, agriculture, manufacturing, and other essential goods.

Investing in the Houston Ship Channel and our maritime infrastructure means investing in Texas’ economic strength, national supply chain security, and continued global competitiveness.

We are proud to advocate for the Houston Ship Channel and the entire Texas Gulf Coast maritime community. ⚓️
