The Matagorda County Navigation District operates Palacios, a Texas port on Tres Palacios Bay that is home to the state's largest shrimp fleet. Several turning basins and busy shipyards serve not only shrimp trawlers but also ferries, tugboats and barges. Access to the Gulf of Mexico runs through the Matagorda Ship Channel, yet the port hosts no liner or container services. Shallow water depths confine activity to fishing and local commercial craft rather than ocean-going cargo. For containers, breakbulk or international customs clearance, Port Lavaca/Point Comfort, Freeport and the Port of Houston are the appropriate alternatives.
