About 92 vessels are waiting to pass through the Houston and Sabine ship channels in Texas after fog hampered visibility, according to the U.S. Coast Guard and a pilots group.
The Houston Channel Pilots Association doesn’t expect to move wide-bodied ships such as Aframax and Suezmax vessels today if the fog clears, said Steve Miner, a dispatcher for the group. The pilots will begin boarding and moving smaller ships through the waterway if conditions clear today, he said.
