PHA MESSAGE TO THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY

Port of Houston Authority (PHA) operations will not be open to receive trucks for drop-offs or deliveries on Tuesday, September 16 due to recovery efforts and loss of electricity.

PHA is still in an asset recovery mode.  Based on preliminary assessments, the PHA facilities have limited negative impact from Hurricane Ike.

As with most of the Houston area, PHA is without electricity and is operating on limited temporary power from generators.

PHA is working with CenterPoint Energy to establish power as soon as possible. 

PHA will update its status on the Web sites at www.portofhouston.com and www.phastatus.com by noon each day as recovery efforts are completed.
