Organization Overview
Since 1921, Piloting the Port that built the City!
The Houston Pilots Association provides pilotage services to all foreign flag vessels and American vessels under registry (regulated vessels) entering or departing the Port of Houston, Harris County, Texas, as required by Texas state law. Pilotage is provided 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, in all weather and port conditions, unless closed for safety, for example, poor visibility, high winds, and storm warnings.
Piloting ships in and out of the Houston Ship Channel is a complex job. Vessel cargoes range from chemicals to containers to automobiles and everything in between. However, the Houston Pilots don't protect just ships from the channel's dangers. They also protect our people, environment, and economy.
