1171-08/19-テキサス‐2019年9月1日よりHouston Ship Channelから大型船舶を排除

2019年9月1日より、1,100フィートを超える船舶は、テキサス州ハリス郡港のパイロットコミッショナー委員会の承認なしにHouston Ship Channel（HSC）に立ち入ることが禁止されました。

On September 1 2019, any vessel larger than 1,100 feet will no longer have open access to the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) absent approval by the newly authorized and independent Board of Pilot Commissioners for Harris County Ports.

The recent advent of the world's largest vessels in the ship channel has resulted in periodic shutdowns of two-way traffic, causing delivery delays and inflicting demurrage costs. Short of a prospective multi-billion dollar widening of the HSC, the bills are meant as interim solutions to ensuring continuous two-way traffic.
