Port Houston surpasses 3m teu in record time

Port Houston has surpassed 3m teu faster than ever as the port recorded just over 3.1m teu handled as of September, up 10% compared to the same period last year.

Loaded imports were up 4% for the month of September and 8% year-to-date with loaded exports, although down 8% for September, are up 10% year-to-date primarily due to continued demand for resins.

Charlie Jenkins, CEO of Port Houston, said: “This milestone reflects strong customer demand and our commitment to delivering a low cost and low risk proposition to our customers that is anchored in service excellence.
