Here are some of the pictures from Tampico and Pt Arthur Texas from my month at work.

Mexican tugboat

Loading the barge



A nice roost.

Cargo - prefab parts of the new Motiva refinery. Built in China assembled in Mexico.


Tampico Port Authority




There were dozens of these little ferrys crossing the river.

Tampico is where most of Mexico's oil is refined.

Our pilot's boat.


The jettys and the open sea.

USCG Pt Arthur


Jack up rigs.



These guys are on a similar run except they are going from Mobile to Pt Arthur, all with moduals for this new refinery. There is another boat on the Tampico - Pt Arthur run, another from New Orleans, and Charleston. Its supposed to be the biggest in the world when it is finished.

Nice pictures. Not good all those jack-ups are sitting idle!!!!!! Good luck and safe passage.
