January 17, 2023

Thick fog and reduced visibility stopped all inbound and outbound vessel traffic through the Houston Ship Channel this morning.

There are currently nine vessels waiting to enter the channel inbound, nine sailing and one shifting vessel pending, Norton Lilly says.

More fog and reduced visibility are expected later today and tomorrow, which could see the channel open and closed intermittently.
