Port Houston sees container volumes surge in November

Port Houston is on track for 2024 to be one of its most successful years to date, having handled just under 3.8m teu through November, up 9% year-on-year, as November volumes alone increase 24%.

In November, Port Houston handled 369,361 teu with loaded imports up 19%, driven by consumer goods and machinery, while loaded exports were up 16% the same month, reinforced by robust resin shipments.

Resins account for 35% of the port’s export volumes, underscoring Houston’s role as the nation’s top gateway for this essential commodity.
