Located approximately 1.5 miles from OmniPort and only 8 miles from international water, GTL’s Deepwater Dock is comprised of 30 acres along a U.S. Corps of Engineers-maintained 42’ draft channel along the Sabine Neches Waterway, with 3,844 feet of water frontage.

GTL is the only independent 3rd party dock operator in the Port Arthur and Beaumont area able to operate 24 hours a day with no height restrictions. The Deepwater Dock is adjacent to the BNSF and UP mainline and has vehicle access via TxDOT Highway 87. The Deep-water Dock is permitted to handling ocean-going barges, Aframax and Panamax ships, offering attractive importing and exporting opportunities to GT OmniPort occupants.

The GT OmniPort main facility is connected to the deep water docks with a series of 24" pipeline to allow for loading and unloading of crude and refined products.
