It is too big to dock at either as I understand. It was going to lighter (use smaller ships to shuttle between dock and tanker) at Galveston but LyondellBasell canceled their delivery. It is believed there is no buyers at this time due to the controversy of the ownership.

Galveston maintains a minimum channel depth of 45 feet, same as Freeport.
