Something bizarre is happening off the coast of Galveston, Texas. Were you to look toward the sea in the Texas port town, you’d be subject to a oceanic traffic jam of epic proportions. Ships carrying oil have gathered along the coast in the Gulf of Mexico in such great quantities that ships approaching the port have been asked to move toward the town slowly in an attempt to ease the burden.
This phenomenon is directly tied to the huge amounts of oil stored internationally and in floating container ships across the world. As oil prices fall, stockpiles of the resource are going through the roof, and governments and companies don’t have anywhere else to store it.
This could cause the price of oil to fall catastrophically further, as supply far exceeds demand for the time being.

I used to fly helicopters off the coast of Galveston. First, I can get you all the photos you want of these boats; second, the “cargo ship traffic jam”, as you call it, is not unusual at any port city.
I flew my cessna along the coast on March 4 and counted 41 ships offshore
People you need to quit making excuses for the oil co.there are sealing off our supply to raise our prices,because they know we will pay for it .if this is not true then tell me why did the big oil exited just kill him self for being under in dementia for price fixing it was in okl.2 weeks ago
Fuel should never exceed a dollar a gallon be diesel or gasoline, I bought it for 69 cents a gallon on the 80s an the Arabs survived. Young people say gas is cheap now an compared to four bucks a gallons it’s better but needs to come down another .75 cents at least..

It clearly states in the comments , if you actually read it, that these are not the actual ships in question, talk about “speaking of what you know”
Normal$#%&!@*numbnuts
They are moving in to the ship channel, refineries are in turnaround chill people
Click bait.
These ships temporarily anchor in this area so that smaller ships can transport the crude into the Port of Houston. The primary ships are too large for the docking facilities at the refineries. Nothing strange; simply safe processes.
