The revised port rotation is Houston; Savannah, Ga.; Baltimore; Mostaganem, Algeria; Valencia; Tarragona; Genoa; Piraeus; Alexandria, Egypt; Beirut; Mersin; Leghorn; Genoa; Fos; Tarragona; Valencia; La Guaira; Puerto Cabello; Rio Haina; Santo Tomas de Castilla; Veracruz, Mexico; and back to Houston.
