The Port of Victoria a joint effort supported by the Victoria County Navigation District and the West Side Calhoun County Navigation District.

Major products transferred are liquid and dry bulk, general and project cargos.
The Port has recently formed an Industrial Park with multi-modal access. The Park is located within a Free Trade Zone and a Texas Enterprise Zone. As part of the strategic plan, the Turning Basin area will be substantially enlarged. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has already approved this expansion and we have preliminary approval for a barge slip and liquid cargo dock. This will be scheduled to coincide with the widening and deepening project already underway and will be completed in 2003.
