About Port Freeport
Port Freeport, at the mouth of the Brazos River, serves chemical plants, an LNG export terminal and container and vehicle cargo. It is a short reefer-truck run from our Houston-area cold store.
Who orders beef in Freeport
Tankers and gas carriers on long voyages favor large frozen orders, and crew nationality decides how much halal beef goes on the order. Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in Freeport can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
Houston, Galveston, Texas City and Freeport get direct delivery by reefer truck from our Houston-area cold store, with same-day delivery for orders confirmed before our cutoff.
We deliver to the berth by reefer truck with a TWIC-carrying driver, and hand off to a launch service for ships at anchor.
