TVIB News Tava Foret

Although we had intermittent operations throughout Hurricane Harvey, we are officially reopening our main office in Houston on Friday, September 1st.

We are so thankful for all of the prayers, concern and kind words shared throughout this event.  We are happy to report that our Houston staff all came through the storm with no major damage.  Our office never lost utilities and did not suffer any damage.

Our continued thoughts and prayers go out to our industry partners and local communities impacted by the storm. We are very appreciative of our local, state and federal agencies that reacted quickly to address the needs of so many.  A big hats off to our regulatory partners in the maritime industry, the United States Coast Guard for the swift response with local personnel and assets and calling in reinforcements from all over the country and activating Reservists to come in and help support Houston, where we call home. #semperparatus

 

 

* * * NOTICE * * *

Our Houston office is closed due to inclement weather in the area from Hurricane Harvey that hit the Texas gulf coast this past Friday.  We have no estimate as to when the office will reopen, but will publish an update once we reopen.  Our Houston staff will have limited/intermittent access to email and voicemail. We will return your calls and emails as quickly as possible.  I would encourage you to reach out to staff located outside of the impacted area for any urgent or time sensitive needs. We have the staff and the resources to ensure there is no interruption to our services.
