Answers to the questions our marine desk hears most often
Which products can you store and handle at Baytown?
Our tanks and loading bays are approved for crude oil, refined products such as gasoline, diesel, jet and marine fuels, base oils and lubricants, commodity chemicals, glycols and vegetable oils. Product compatibility and segregation requirements are confirmed before every nomination so there are no surprises at the dock.
How far in advance should I book a berth?
For scheduled barge movements we ask for 72 hours of notice so we can lock in the window and stage the right equipment. Spot berths are frequently available same day — our marine desk is staffed 24 hours a day and answers within the hour, including nights and weekends.
Do you handle packaged and containerised cargo as well as bulk liquid?
Yes. ISO tanks, drums, totes and flexitanks are handled in dedicated segregated bays with certified operators on every shift. Packaged volumes can be received by road or rail and cross-docked onto a barge within the same operating day.
Are you insured for terminal, cargo and pollution liability?
Terminal liability, cargo handling and pollution cover are held well above the minimum federal requirements, and certificates are issued to new customers as part of onboarding. Full details are published on our insurance page.
Can you support export documentation and customs coordination?
We prepare bills of lading, cargo manifests, certificates of quantity and tank inspection records for every movement, and we work alongside your customs broker or ours. Our logistics team can coordinate the whole chain from tank to vessel.
What are your operating hours?
The dock office and tank farm are staffed Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Marine operations, berthing and barge fleeting run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year.
