Houston approves $25 million for port projects
The Port of Houston’s commissioners Tuesday approved about $25 million for maintenance and construction projects throughout the port.
Included were $2.1 million for expansion of the Bayport gate, and $1.2 million to the National Oceanographic Service for the maintenance and oversight of the physical oceanographic real time system (P.O.R.T.S.) for fiscal years 2008-2012.
The system collects and disseminates oceanographic data to commercial mariners and recreational boaters. Use of the system helps to prevent spills of hazardous materials and vessel grounding.
