IN November, 348,950 TEU was handled at the Port of Houston, which is up 11 per cent compared to November 2021, reports AJOT.
It was the fourth-highest month for containers at Port Houston's Barbours Cut and Bayport container terminals.
Container volume is up 17 per cent year-to-date through November, totaling 3,682,874 TEU for the first eleven months of 2022.
The week before Thanksgiving was the highest for truck transactions, with 70,000 combined total transactions.
"The long term for container growth in Houston is extremely favourable. Retailers continue to invest in distribution centres in our region that are served through our Port. The export of petrochemical commodities continues to rebound as well. The impacts of the historic global supply chain demand are beginning to disappear," said Port Houston executive director Roger Guenther.
"Our vessel queue is now reduced to single digits and will likely be caught up in the coming weeks. We remain committed to the efficiency of our facilities and the investments we are making to stay well in front of demand both on the waterside and the terminal side."
