USA: Aransas terminal to handle project cargo
In Port Aransas, TX, family-owned company Aransas Terminal Company (ATC) is redesigning the marine terminals of Harbor Island. ATC is a new baby born in July 2021 to lease, administer, operate and maintain the port facilities called Aransas Terminal – Harbor Island located on the Corpus Christi Ship Channel less than 5 km from the open Gulf of Mexico.
Current wind component shipments through the port are destined for the onshore renewables sector, there is also potential for offshore wind component fabrication and supply. With no bridges to cross under and therefore no air draft restrictions, Aransas Terminal provides an opportunity for future offshore wind farm developers.
"The marine terminal facilities are have 1,000 linear metres of berth space and landside facilities already in business, handling project cargo operations and offshore oil and gas berthing and logistics,” said Burt Moorhouse, president of ATC. (sh)
