Galveston sits at the entrance to Galveston Bay, a short drive from our Houston headquarters. Alpha Ship Supplies coordinates provisions, ship stores, technical supplies, and spare parts for vessels at Port of Galveston berths and at anchorages in the Galveston Bay area.
The Port of Galveston handles cruise ships, Ro-Ro and vehicle carriers, general cargo, bulk cargo, and offshore and support vessels. Many ocean-going vessels bound for the Houston Ship Channel also wait at anchorages near the bay entrance, where stores can be delivered by launch before the vessel moves up to its berth.
Because Galveston is within the Houston area, requisitions are handled directly by our Houston team. For vessels moving between Galveston anchorages and Houston terminals, we can plan delivery at whichever point suits the vessel's schedule and the agent's arrangements.
For anchored vessels, launch delivery is arranged through the port agent and confirmed with the quotation.
Include the vessel name and IMO, berth or anchorage, ETA and ETD, agent details, and the requisition list. If the vessel will continue to Houston, Texas City, or Freeport, tell us the next berth so we can choose the best delivery point.
