Port of Corpus Christi abruptly ends Lone star Ports lease of Harbor Island

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â It wasnât expected and it took some by surprise. Tuesday, commissioners with the Port of Corpus Christi voted to end the lease of Lone Star Ports.
The group was to build a major loading facility out on Harbor Island in the Port Aransas area. That terminal would have been used to load very large crude carriers, or VLCC s, with crude oil.
Some are taking this as a win, but are left with more questions. Was it a breach of contract? asked James King, who is the president of Port Aransas Conservancy. Is it over, as far as Harbor Island? Are they looking at other avenues for an export facility? So, lots of questions . Lots of backroom communication that the public doesnât hear that the public needs to hear.
