The Port of Beaumont

Economic Engine of Southeast Texas

For over one hundred years, The Port of Beaumont has been connecting the Golden Triangle to the world at large.

Do you know The Port of Beaumont’s top trading partners?

Brazil
Kuwait
Nigeria
Mexico
China

That is a pretty diverse group – three continents.

With the rise of Southeast Texas’ exports of fuel pellets to Europe, do not be surprised if you see a fourth continent crack the top ten soon.

What imports are currently having an impact on shipping tonnage at The Port of Beaumont?

Forest Products – imports include eucalyptus – lots of eucalyptus!
Aggregate
Military Cargo headed across the globe
Iron and Steel
Industrial Construction Components
Wind Turbines headed to West Texas and Oklahoma

We are also heavily exporting local goods and services across the globe through the Port of Beaumont.

Here is a look at some of our top exports:

Bulk grain including wheat and locally grown Southeast Texas rice
Pot ash (for fertilizer)
Forest Products
Military Cargo
Project Cargo
Iron and steel

It is interesting that some of the products appear both as imports and exports.

With forest products, we import hardwoods from South America and Eucalyptus from Brazil. Eucalyptus has become popular for creating high grade paper products, including super soft toilet paper and facial tissue. We export our East Texas pine and the new energy pellets that are providing electricity and heat to Europe.

The Port of Beaumont has connected the Golden Triangle to the world for over 100 years.

We look forward to seeing what the next 100 years will bring.
