This is part of Port Houston’s customary practice of re-evaluating its strategic plans every five years.
The port said that the new plan is based on its 2015 plan that outlined the port’s overall goals, objectives, action plans and performance measures.
A number of stakeholders, including employees, community groups and the public, as well as an outside firm that was selected to assist, took part in developing the strategy.
Port Houston chairman Ric Campo said: “It is fitting that the Port Commission is approving a new strategic plan today as the port embarks on its 12th decade and is seeking to widen and deepen the Houston Ship Channel for the 11th time in its history.
