Features

The Port of Lavaca – Point Comfort is connected to the Gulf of Mexico through the Matagorda Ship Channel. The channel is a conduit that was dredged through the Matagorda Bay. The Matagorda ship channel was dredged between 1962 and 1966 to allow smooth and efficient passage for vessels heading towards and from the Gulf of Mexico. The ship channel is wide enough to accommodate two large cargo ships aligned horizontally. This allows for fast passage of the ships, which trickles down to faster transitions between cargo ships being offloaded and those coming into the port for loading.

The Port of Port Lavaca – Point Comfort has a natural depth of 36 feet and a width of 200 feet, conditions ideal to accommodate both medium-sized and large cargo ships. In 2010, a port expansion plan was authorized to expand the depth by 8 feet and width by 200 feet. The new dimensions of 44 feet in depth and 400 feet in width will lead to a further increase in cargo ship accommodation, and in turn, higher numbers in cargo shipment. This will increase efficiency when shipping cars to or from port of Port Lavaca – Point Comfort.
