The Port has recently formed an Industrial Park with multi-modal access. The Park is located within a Free Trade Zone and a Texas Enterprise Zone. The Port has the ability to "build to suit" and tailor a package specific to customer facility and transportation needs.

A major cost savings was realized by including the basin expansion with the completion of the widening and deepening of the Canal. In addition to almost doubling the size of the harbor, a 400foot x 150-foot barge slip was added. These enhancements will offer our customers greater safety and efficiency.

The Port of Victoria is a center for the chemical, construction and steel fabrication and agribusiness industries offering access to all transportation modes.
