HOUSTON (Reuters) - Houston Ship Channel traffic resumed on a limited basis after being stopped for 36 hours due to rough seas from Tropical Storm Dolly, the Houston ship pilots association said on Thursday.

Valero Energy Corp said it expects to restore full production by the end of the week at its Houston and Port Arthur, Texas, refineries, which saw cuts due to a lack of crude coming through the Houston Ship Channel.
