Brazos Pilots NOTICE OF DRAFT CHANGES

February 26, 2007

DEAR PORT USER:

The recent maintenance dredging of the Freeport Harbor Entrance & Jetty Channels has been completed. As a result the Brazos Pilots make the following Draft Recommendations for vessels calling at Freeport:

MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED DRAFT 42’00” FRESH WATER

THIS RECOMMENDATION IS APPLICABLE TO THE FEDERAL CHANNEL ONLY AND DOES NOT INDICATE DEPTHS ALONGSIDE TERMINAL BERTHS. VESSELS SHOULD LOAD ACCORDINGLY FOR UNDERKEEL CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TIDE AVAILABILITY.

Tidal predictions are available at brazospilots.com for your convenience. Tide predictions do not include the effect of wind which may affect tidal levels.

THE BRAZOS PILOTS ASSOCIATION REQUEST TIMELY NOTIFICATION OF ANTICIPATED ARRIVALS OR DEPARTURES OF DEEP DRAFT VESSELS WITH MINIMAL UNDERKEEL CLEARANCE.

The Brazos Pilots stand committed to the safe and efficient service provided to the vessels utilizing the Port of Freeport. Please contact me with any questions you may have regarding this matter.

Best regards,



Captain James A. Teeter
Presiding Officer – BRAZOS PILOTS ASSOCIATION
