Subject: New Draft Limitation in the Houston Ship Channel
Hello All:
Due to shoaling in the Bolivar Roads area of the Houston Ship Channel the Houston Pilots are limiting the maximum allowable freshwater draft to 44 feet.
If you already have a vessel bound for Houston with over 44 feet we will accommodate the arrival with a suitable tide level of at least +1 on the tide gauge. Please let me know as far in advance for any over 44’ arrivals.
Should you have any questions please contact me.
Sincerely
