Daily Houston Ship Channel intelligence on inbound traffic, berth pressure, tide windows, and watch items, written for vessel agents, brokers, and terminal operators who need a clean read before the desk gets noisy.
Morgan's Point at +1.24 ft and rising toward the late-morning window. Early fog lifted by 0430. No active USCG restrictions at publish time.
• Bayport has 4 vessels stacked against a normal 1 to 2 vessel queue. Expect berth compression if the 0940 and 1025 arrivals hold.
• Two chem tankers are converging on the same late-morning tide window. Watch tug and pilot sequencing around Morgan's Point.
• Bolivar anchorage dwell remains above the 7-day average. Useful signal for charterer update language if owners start pressing on delay exposure.
