Tropical Storm Edouard may affect US Gulf Coast port operations

Update: September 1, 2026

Tropical Storm Edouard is expected to reach the northwestern US Gulf Coast on September 1, 2026, with southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana potentially affected.

Heavy rainfall, strong winds, storm surge and deteriorating marine conditions could disrupt vessel movements and port operations. Areas under warning include the coastline between Port Bolivar, Texas, and the Vermilion/Cameron Parish Line in Louisiana.

Ports and waterways that may be affected include Houston-Galveston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Sabine Pass, the Sabine-Neches Waterway and Freeport. Restrictions may apply to vessel arrivals, bunkering and other marine operations as conditions develop.

Our teams in the United States remain in close contact with ports, pilots and other relevant authorities to assess any impact on operations.
