Port of Houston – Tug Service”. New Policy goes into effect on October 1, 2011.
Effective October 1st, 2011 we are changing the minimum time for ordering tug services in the Port of Houston to a four (4) hour minimum instead of two (2) hours.
This change is being coordinated with the Houston Pilots to allow us to align minimum ordering times for both pilots and tugs so that we may better enhance channel efficiency in the Port of Houston.
Please be guided accordingly
