Severe weather conditions with gale force winds are affecting operations at some ports in Texas and Louisiana. As a cold front slowly moves across the area, conditions are expected to deteriorate with heavy winds, rain and rough seas expected offshore.

At 16:00 hours local time yesterday (12 November) Sabine Pilots suspended traffic to and from the Beaumont outer boarding station at the SB buoy due to gale force winds and rough sea conditions. The weather conditions are expected to continue today, at least until the evening local time.

At Corpus Christi, pilots stopped boarding vessels in all areas of the ship channel at 17:00 local time yesterday due to high winds.

Lake Charles Pilots suspended traffic at 17:30 yesterday evening.
