Crude oil, refined fuels, ethylene, propylene and polyethylene resin, rather than containers, move across the private industrial docks at Baytown (US HPY) on the Houston Ship Channel, about 40 km east of Houston, Texas. The site is dominated by the ExxonMobil refinery, which processes roughly 560,500 barrels of crude a day, and by Chevron Phillips Chemical's adjacent Cedar Bayou plant producing ethylene, propylene and polyethylene. This is an energy and petrochemical complex, not a general-cargo or box terminal. Hinterland links run through product pipelines, including to the Mont Belvieu plastics hub, plus rail, road and ship-channel barge traffic. Forwarders handling containers or breakbulk use Houston's Barbours Cut and Bayport terminals instead, while Texas City and Port Arthur are alternative petroleum ports. Customs clearance falls under the Houston-Galveston CBP district.
