Happy Tuesday!

in the news again! Did you see our blog on September 8, 2023, about them naming their Interim CEO, Kent

Did anyone hear
that the Port of Corpus Christi made an announcement today, September 26, 2023, about
who was awarded the fourth and final phase of the Corpus Christi Channel Improvement Project (CIP)? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
announced Callan Marine, Ltd. has been awarded the fourth and final phase of
the CIP. The almost $681.6 million CIP is
expected to be completed by early 2025, while the third phase is expected to be
completed later this year. Upon completion CIP will have been dredged to -54-feet
Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) and widened to 530-feet, and they will have dredged
40-million cubic yards of material which will be used to construct erosion
control areas and places for wildlife. If you
