Maritime TransportationTexas, United States51-200 Employees

The Port of Galveston, operated by the Galveston Wharves, is a maritime transportation hub serving both cruise operations and international trade. Located at the entrance to Galveston Bay, it manages facilities on Galveston Island and Pelican Island, handling a diverse mix of cargo—including roll-on/roll-off, dry bulk, export grain, refrigerated fruit, and project cargo—alongside more than 1.9 million cruise passenger movements annually. The Pelican Island facilities support ship and rig repair, liquid bulk operations, and offshore exploration activities, complemented by undeveloped properties. As a self-supporting city enterprise, the port operates without relying on tax dollars and sustains economic activity through its operating revenues. Based in Galveston, Texas, the port has a long history dating back to 1825 and currently functions as a key economic engine with a broad regional footprint. Recent developments include expansion of cruise terminals and ongoing efforts to meet environmental and sustainability standards in its operations.
