Port Houston exceeds 900,000 TEU in 2022 first quarter

Port Houston handled 308,577 TEU in March, totalling 903,393 TEU in the first three months of 2022, which translates to an increase of 20% year-to-date over last year’s figures.

“Port Houston is constantly evaluating growth within the industry and developing innovative solutions to accommodate that growth,” said the port’s executive director, Roger Guenther, who added, “We know that velocity of goods is of the utmost importance to our customers and we continue to evaluate our procedures and infrastructure to improve efficiency.”

In March, Port Houston waived dockage for ships waiting at anchor that could berth while waiting for gang assignments in order to accelerate the working of vessels and move cargo through the port faster.

Additionally, Port Houston recently added an additional hour to the daily gate schedule and announced regular Saturday gate hours starting in June. The port has accelerated projects at its container terminals, for example doubling gate capacity at Barbours Cut Container Terminal in March.
