Ship beef supply in Port Arthur, TX

About the Port of Port Arthur

Port Arthur sits on the Sabine-Neches Waterway next to some of the largest refineries in North America. Tankers, project cargo and military shipments make up much of its traffic.

Who orders beef in Port Arthur

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 Port Arthur 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. The rest of the Gulf Coast, from Brownsville to Port Manatee, is served by reefer truck from Houston. We quote the lead time with every order.

Our reefer truck runs from Houston to Port Arthur with the order sealed and logged. For ships at anchor we hand off to a local launch service.
