Barge loading, discharge and vessel transloading on the Houston Ship Channel

Loaded tank barge under way on the ship channel

Cargo Loaded, Documented And Underway Without A Second Stop

Product shipping at Baytown is built around one idea: the tow should not wait for paperwork. Nominations, tank allocation, line-ups and documentation are prepared before the barge arrives, so loading starts as soon as the lines are made fast.

We handle barge loading and discharge for tank barges and deck barges, ship-to-barge and barge-to-ship transfers at the berth, and transloading between marine, rail and road modes inside the same terminal. Vapour control and closed sampling are available for volatile products.

  • Scheduled and spot berth windows with 72 hours notice for planned movements.
  • Bills of lading, manifests, certificates of quantity and tank inspection records issued on completion.
  • Bunker coordination and ullage calculations handled by the terminal marine desk.
  • Direct coordination with your vessel agent, barge line and surveyor.

Our berths operate 24 hours a day, so night loading is normal rather than an exception. If your cargo is ready, we will find a window — and we will tell you honestly when we cannot.
