HOUSTON (Reuters) - Houston Ship Channel pilots stopped steering ships along the waterway to the busiest U.S. petrochemical port on Wednesday morning due to rough weather from Hurricane Dolly, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Texas City pilots continued steering ships to the refineries and chemical plants at the south end of the channel, the Coast Guard said.
