The Port Commission Community Advisory Council (PCCAC) recently toured our Bayport Container Terminal, gaining firsthand insight into our operations. This tour aimed to increase engagement, understanding, and transparency between Port Houston and our community members. The PCCAC, representing diverse organizations like chambers of commerce, environmental groups, and neighborhoods, had the opportunity to see our state-of-the-art facilities in action. Thank you to all who participated and contributed to this enriching experience! #Terminal #Community #Engagement
