Earlier this month, Project 11 received a “new start” designation and 19.5 million in federal funds to support the Houston Ship Channel widening. The widening of the Houston Ship Channel is big news because this will facilitate easier maritime commerce and create more jobs for Texans in the Houston Port Region. In an article from BIC Magazine, Port Chairman Ric Campo, explains how there is only one new start designation for a major deep-water channel in the U.S. each year. This designation speaks to the demand by carriers looking to bring larger vessels to the port. Here at Action Supply, we are proud to see the Houston Port thriving despite the challenges of COVID-19. We offer comprehensive marine supply solutions to support your large vessel projects with marine supplies, personal protective equipment, and professional inventory management services.
