America’s Energy Gateway

The Sabine-Neches Waterway is the lifeline of Southeast Texas and an irreplaceable link in our country’s energy and military transportation network.

Ships have grown over the years!

The Sabine-Neches Waterway is the third-largest waterway by tonnage and the #1 liquid bulk cargo waterway in the nation.

The Channel Improvement Project

The Sabine-Neches Waterway Channel Improvement Project (“Deepening Project”) will bring billions in economic benefits and thousands of new jobs during construction and at project maturity.

Let’s Dig It!

The Channel Improvement Project will deepen the Sabine-Neches Waterway from 40 to 48 feet, allowing for deeper draft vessels and larger cargoes.

Our Commitment Runs Deep

As the responsible steward of the waterway, the Sabine-Neches Navigation District promotes and supports its maintenance and security.

We are constantly working

With more than 50 United States Coast Guard regulated waterway facilities and the nation’s largest military offload port, the Sabine-Neches Waterway works around the clock.
