Abstract

When one thinks of Houston a variety of different economic activities might come to mind: energy, space, and medicine. Typically one does not think first of transportation. However, the transportation enterprise in the Houston area is massive. Houston is one of the few places in the world where the various modes of transportation: rail, highway, maritime, inland waterway, pipeline and air converge. Approximately 90% of the volume and 70% of the value of goods transported worldwide takes place at sea. These general percentages also apply for the Houston region. Our focus will be on the maritime sector in particular the Port of Houston and the Houston Ship Channel.
