FTZ No. 155 Site Locations

 

The Calhoun-Victoria FTZ, with more than 1,400 acres, includes six general purpose sites and three subzones strategically located to offer a variety of intermodal transportation connections and access features.

 

Site 1 encompasses the public marine terminal facilities at the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort.  The site includes docks, warehouse space, open storage areas and is served by the ship channel and existing rail service spurs of the Point Comfort & Northern Railroad, a short line connecting with the Union Pacific and BNSF railroads.  Only the 25,00 square foot warehouse in this site has been activated.  It is served by the Matagorda Ship Channel which has an operating depth of 36 feet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Site 2 is a subzone of FTZ No. 155.  This subzone is owned and operated by ALCOA and provides more than 900 jobs in the Calhoun County region.  Operations include bauxite processing facilities, chemical production facilities, a deepwater marine terminal, a 15,000 square foot warehouse and open storage.  A total of 494.3 acres have been activated out of more than 800 acres in the site.  This site is served by the Point Comfort & Northern Railroad.  The FTZ assists ALCOA in overcoming the necessary disadvantage of shipping two pounds of bauxite for each pound of alumina that is produced.
