Closure of Lower Fina Anchorage

26 May 2020 / Neches River, United States

The Lower Fina Anchorage on the Neches River will be CLOSED for anchoring and mid-river turning effective Tuesday, 26 May 2020 for approximately 90 days until the end of August.

This closure is required to facilitate the deepening of this area that is being carried out by the USACOE and the Navigation District as the first step in the Federal Improvement Project for the SNWW.

Agents should allow additional time for vessels calling at TOTAL Refinery Docks and Rainbow Bulk Dock that need to be turned since they will need to use a turning area further upstream.

Upper Fina Anchorage will be available with 28’ draft vessels up to 500’ and larger vessels with forward drafts up to 20’.
