Carrier services calling Houston
A carrier service is a carrier’s fixed loop of port calls, such as Hapag-Lloyd’s IEX. A service counts as calling here when one of its published sailings loads, transships or discharges cargo at Houston. Services seen on at least 3 sailings have their own page.

Carriers calling Houston
Ships calling Houston
The number after each ship is its scheduled calls at Houston. Ships named on at least 3 published sailings have their own page.
Local time at Houston
Cut-offs, gate hours and the carrier’s local office all run on the port’s clock. Check it before you promise a delivery date.
Source: IANA time zone database, using the zone that covers the port itself, so the offset follows daylight saving time. The clock itself runs on your device.
Container terminals at Houston
The terminals that handle container ships here: useful for knowing which gate your trucker goes to and which terminal code to quote on a booking. The carrier, not the port, decides which terminal your ship uses.
| Code | Terminal | Operator |
|---|---|---|
| BCMT | BARBOURS CUT MARINE TERMINAL | PORT OF HOUSTON AUTHORITY |
| BPTM | BAYPORT TERMINAL | PORT OF HOUSTON AUTHORITY |
| JPI | JACINTOPORT | JACINTOPORT INTERNATIONAL LLC |
The carriers on the Airlift routes publish the port on their schedules, not the terminal, so none of the terminals above is marked as called. Ask us and we’ll confirm the terminal for your booking.
Source: SMDG Terminal Code List, edition of 2026-06-09, republished every few weeks (CC-BY 4.0); which terminals the carriers name comes from their published schedules, updated Sep 18.
Nearby ports you could ship through instead
If space, a cut-off or the rate at Houston doesn’t work, these nearby ports on the Airlift routes are worth a look.
No other port on the Airlift routes is close enough to Houston to load the same cargo.
Source: the two ports' own coordinates for the distance (straight-line, not by road or sea), and the carriers’ published schedules for the services that call at both, updated Sep 18.

Ship through Houston
Where this data comes from
Sailing dates, ships and port calls come from the carriers’ own published schedules and cover departures in the next four weeks; your browser checks the schedule feed again each time you open a page. A carrier service or a ship gets its own page once it has appeared on at least three of those sailings. Transit times labeled “Airlift history” are the typical range on Airlift’s own shipments on that lane. Sea lines on the maps are schematic, not exact tracks.
The carriers’ schedules don’t include berth or dwell times, so this page doesn’t show them. The terminal list comes from the SMDG Terminal Code List and the time zone from the port’s coordinates; neither tells you which terminal a given ship will use. Schedules published as of Sep 18, method checked Sep 18. For planning only. Schedules, routings and ship assignments change without notice, so confirm with your carrier or with Airlift before you book. Nothing on these pages is a rate, a guarantee of space or a guaranteed transit time.
