Port Houston serves as the local sponsor and a strategic leader of the Houston Ship Channel, working alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain and enhance this vital federal waterway for the region and the nation. This effort includes annual maintenance dredging to keep the channel at its authorized depth and ensure safe navigation. In addition to maintenance dredging, Port Houston leads the charge to deepen and widen the channel through what is known today as Project 11. Port Houston began planning these latest improvements to the Houston Ship Channel in 2010, working in collaboration with Congress, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and channel stakeholders. This is the eleventh major improvement project to the waterway over its history dating back more than a century, which is why it is called Project 11.
