With the latest Houston Ship Channel Expansion – Project 11 – Port Houston has prioritized sustainability. This is evident in our use of the cleanest available dredges for construction and the beneficial use of nearly 100% of the non-silt material dredged from the Galveston Bay portion of the project to create and enhance local habitats. Regional air quality is also projected to improve, due to a reduction in vessel nitrous oxide emissions of up to 7% annually, because of increased vessel efficiency and reduced congestion.
