National Shipping Customer Advisory – April 27th, 2026 – Vessel Schedule Change

April 23, 2026

We are writing to give you notice regarding a change in our vessel schedule for the next four voyages. There is no change in frequency or transit time between Houston, Texas and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

We are just adjusting our days of the week for departures and arrivals for voyages 326 through 329.

We are making this adjustment because our home port in Houston, Jacintoport, is making a major investment in its terminal by adding two new state-of-the-art cranes as well as implementing a Terminal Operating System.

Schedule Change — Voyages 326–329

This interim change will not impact transit time or frequency but will alter the days of the week for cargo cutoffs and cargo arrival.

Southbound — Houston to San Juan

Event Previous Day New Day
Houston Departure Wednesday Saturday
Southbound Cargo Cutoff Tuesday Thursday
San Juan Arrival Thursday
San Juan Cargo Availability Friday

Northbound — San Juan to Houston

Event Previous Day New Day
San Juan Departure Friday
San Juan Cargo Cutoff Tuesday Wednesday
Houston Arrival Friday (following week)
Houston Cargo Availability Monday

Why We’re Making This Change

Jacintoport is investing in two new state-of-the-art cranes and a new Terminal Operating System. These upgrades are designed to provide faster turnaround times and increased reliability.

The full updated schedule for voyages 326–329 is published at www.natship.us.

Thank you for your patience as we work to build a more resilient shipping network.
