Port Houston experiences second highest month of container traffic

Port Houston achieved a container volume increase of 26% in September, compared to the same month last year, reaching 353,525 TEUs.

This is the second-highest month ever for containers at Port Houston, following
August 2022.

Overall, container volume is up 18% year-to-date at Port Houston’s box terminals and is nearing the 3 million TEUs mark.

“We’ve created additional temporary space on the terminal and accelerated our investments in additional container yards,” pointed out Roger Guenther, executive director at Port Houston.

Auto import units at the US port were up 241% in September compared to last year and are up 4% year to date, according to the port’s data.

Additionally, total tonnage at Port Houston’s facilities from January to September has increased by 26%, compared to the same period in 2021.

“We appreciate our customers for working with us by evacuating their containers quickly, and want to encourage them to take advantage of the recently added Saturday gate hours in addition to our weekday gates,” said Guenther.
