Carrier services calling Houston
A carrier service is a carrier’s fixed loop of port calls, such as Hapag-Lloyd’s IEX. Read from the stops of the published sailings: a service counts as calling here when a sailing loads, transships or discharges at Houston on it. Services with their own page were seen on at least 3 sailings.

Carriers calling Houston
Vessels calling Houston
The count is scheduled calls at Houston. Ships with a page were named on at least 3 published sailings.
Local time at Houston
Cut-offs, gate hours and the carrier's office all run on the port's clock, so check it before you promise a delivery date.
Source: IANA time zone database, the zone that covers the port itself, so the offset follows daylight saving; the clock reads from your own device.
Container terminals at Houston
The terminals a container ship can be worked at here, so you know which gate a trucker goes to and which terminal code to quote on a booking. Which one your ship uses is set by the carrier on the booking, not by the port.
| Code | Terminal | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| BCMT | BARBOURS CUT MARINE TERMINAL | PORT OF HOUSTON AUTHORITY |
| BPTM | BAYPORT TERMINAL | PORT OF HOUSTON AUTHORITY |
| JPI | JACINTOPORT | JACINTOPORT INTERNATIONAL LLC |
The carriers on the Airlift routes publish the port on their schedules, not the terminal, so no terminal above is marked as called. Ask us and we will confirm the terminal on your booking.

Nearby ports you could ship through instead
Ports near Houston that Airlift also books, worth a look when space, a cut-off or a rate at Houston does not work.
No other port on the Airlift routes is close enough to Houston to load the same cargo.
Source: the two ports' own coordinates for the distance, which is straight-line and not road or sea miles, and the carriers' published schedules for the services that call at both, updated Sep 7.

Where this data comes from
Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules for departures in the next four weeks, and your browser asks the schedule feed again when you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labelled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments for that lane, and the sea lines on the maps are schematic.
Berth time and dwell time are not in the carriers' schedules and are not shown. The terminal list is the SMDG Terminal Code List and the time zone comes from the port's coordinates; neither says which terminal a given ship will work at. Schedules published as of Sep 7, method checked Sep 7. Provided for planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice; confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before booking. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
