About This Seaport
Port Arthur (US POA) is, in practice, a liquid-bulk port: crude oil, refined products, petrochemicals and feedstocks dominate, with minimal container, dry-bulk or general-cargo activity. The facility sits in the far south-east corner of Texas on the Sabine-Neches Waterway, a roughly 72 km deep-draft channel linking Port Arthur and Beaumont to the Gulf of Mexico and docking more than 1,000 vessels a year. Its anchor is the Motiva refinery, which at about 654,000 bpd became North America's largest in 2025, alongside the Valero and TotalEnergies refineries and petrochemical plants run by BASF, Huntsman and Eastman, plus a dedicated Coke Dock for petroleum coke. Sempra's Port Arthur LNG export terminal is under construction nearby, with its first liquefaction train expected to start up around 2027. Container, dry-bulk and general-cargo flows are negligible, and major repair capacity reflects the port's heavy-industrial profile. Shippers with containerised cargo should look to Houston, the nearest high-capacity box port.
