Pipelines, barge docks, rail spurs and tank-car racks, not container gantries, define the 218-acre Port Neches Terminal on the Neches River in southeast Texas. Sitting between Beaumont and Port Arthur, the site forms part of the Sabine-Neches Waterway – the third-busiest US waterway by tonnage and the nation's leading liquid-bulk artery, moving more than 125 million tons a year. Operations centre on petrochemical intermediates such as crude C4, butadiene and raffinate rather than general or containerised cargo. Customs and box handling for ordinary trade goods are not the port's role; it serves regional refineries and chemical plants. Forwarders with dangerous-goods and chemical expertise will find connections here. Others are better served by the larger ports of Beaumont, Port Arthur or Houston.
