Port Houston reports steady container volumes in January

Port Houston box traffic remained relatively steady in the first month of the year handling 319,990 TEUs, translating to a slight decrease of 1% compared with January 2022.

In particular, loaded imports were down 6%, but total imports, including empty import containers, were up 5%, buoyed, according to the port, by a surge in empty containers repositioned to Houston to support a strong start in export bookings.

Moreover, Port Houston saw significant growth in loaded exports, rising by 31%, compared to last year, reaching 113,875 TEUs in January, driven by increased resin demand.

Steel imports at Port Houston are also off to a strong start for the year and are up 17% in January compared to January 2022 at 514,024 tons.
