The Port of Houston will cease all public terminal operations Tuesday evening and will likely keep its eight public facilities closed Wednesday and Thursday due to the impact of Hurricane Laura.
A spokesperson for the Port of Houston said that the Port anticipates being fully closed Wednesday with a potential for the closure to extend to Thursday depending on the storm’s track.
Barbours Cut and the Bayport Container terminals will close Tuesday evening, a spokesperson said. The port’s general cargo and multi-purpose terminals will close for normal hours Tuesday evening. The gates at Cargo Bay Road and Ramp Road Six will likely remain open Wednesday and Thursday.
There are more than 200 private facilities in the Port of Houston and each private facility or terminal operator is responsible for their own emergency response plan, said Lisa Ashley, spokesperson for the Port of Houston.
“Port Houston has a trained Emergency Management team and we are monitoring weather conditions and are making preparations,” Ashley said.
