Ship Agency Services at US Gulf Coast

Run your vessels on schedule across the full US Gulf Coast through one coordinating office.

VertomCory Houston manages port agency and husbandry at every Gulf port, from Houston, Corpus Christi, and Galveston through to Texas City, Freeport, Port Arthur, Beaumont, Cameron, Lake Charles, Sabine Pass, and terminals across the Louisiana and Mississippi coastline including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Southwest Pass.

The US Gulf handles more than half of all US waterborne petroleum trade alongside the country's largest LNG export operations and significant bulk, container, and cruise traffic.

Streamlined US Customs and Regulatory Compliance Across the Gulf

Reduce delays from US federal regulatory requirements at every Gulf terminal. US CBP entry, USCG safety and security notifications, AMS filings, and import/export documentation are managed by the Houston team ahead of every arrival.

Each Gulf port and terminal has its own MTSA security protocols, USCG Captain of the Port requirements, and facility-specific safety management, and the team handles them all so your vessel meets federal and state requirements before reaching the berth.

Stay compliant across different state jurisdictions (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) with EPA and state environmental agency notifications, terminal-specific environmental requirements, and any hazardous cargo documentation managed on your behalf.

Streamlined Petroleum, LNG, and Bulk Operations on the Gulf

Reduce delays across the Gulf's biggest export terminals with dedicated cargo coordination for every commodity. Petroleum and petrochemical loading at Houston, Corpus Christi, Texas City, Port Arthur, and Beaumont refineries receives terminal-specific documentation and liaison.

LNG carrier calls at Sabine Pass, Cameron, and Lake Charles export terminals are supported with FERC-regulated safety management and ISPS security coordination. Bunker coordination, tank cleaning, slops disposal, and environmental compliance are arranged through approved Gulf Coast contractors at every location.

Looking After Your Crew at Gulf Coast Ports

Call on specialist local support for crew rotations at busy Gulf terminals through the Houston, Beaumont, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and Corpus Christi offices' combined supplier networks.

Crew changes are managed with US visa and immigration coordination, transport to Gulf Coast airports, and local accommodation. Cash to Master, medical assistance, stores, provisions, and ship spares are sourced at every Gulf location.

Simplify your Gulf Coast operations through one team covering every terminal from Brownsville to Mobile, with 24/7 availability and regular updates throughout.
