Port Houston reports busiest February on record

Port Houston has achieved the busiest February in its history, handling 271,399 TEU, which translates to a container volume growth of 37% over the same month of the previous year.

“This is the biggest February Port Houston has ever seen in terms of containers,” noted Port Houston executive director, Roger Guenther.

He also added that in response to this strong growth, the US port is accelerating projects at its container terminals, “like opening additional gates at our Barbours Cut Container Terminal.”

“The arrival of three new neo-Panamax ship-to-shore cranes at our Bayport Container Terminal in February will allow us to work larger ships than ever before,” said Guenther, who called for collaboration to increase efficiency.

“We are asking importers to expedite the pickup of containers and for exporters to work closely with their carriers to improve schedules and delivery to maintain a fluid environment,” he pointed out.

In the first two months of 2022, container volumes at Port Houston reached 594,826 TEU, representing an increase of 31% year-to-date.
