Galveston moves forward on cruise terminal repairs

www.bizjournals.com -- The Port of Galveston expects to have both of its cruise ship terminals in operation by Oct. 1, a port official said Wednesday.

Gerald Sullivan, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Galveston Wharves, which oversees port operations, said crews are working around the clock on the damaged terminal buildings. The first ship scheduled to depart after that target date is the Ecstacy, operated by Carnival Cruise Lines, on Oct. 4.

The Port of Houston Authority agreed to divert Carnival Cruise Line ships to its newly opened Bayport Cruise Terminal after Hurricane Ike smashed into the Gulf Coast on Sept. 13. Hundreds of cruise ship customers’ vehicles left that weekend in Galveston’s port parking lots were destroyed or damaged by the massive storm surge.

Galveston’s port has re-opened to smaller vessels while dredging issues are being worked out. Although access to Pelican Island had been cut off the week after the hurricane roared through, Sullivan said one of the port’s key Pelican Island tenants, Gulf Copper & Marine, re-opened on Sept. 22 with limited operations.
