Port Houston sees biggest July ever for container TEUs
BY LIZ CAREY | AUGUST 28, 2023 | NEWS

Port Houston said it experienced the largest container volume in July this year with more than 344,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) handled during the month.

The record container volume represents a 5 percent increase over the same period in 2022. So far this year, the port has seen 2,202,538 TEUs, only 1 percent less than last year’s record volume.

Officials noted the port has three new ship-to-shore cranes at its Bayport Container Terminal, part of an expansion plan to add a wharf at that location.

“These continued investments at Port Houston terminals are part of an overall strategic plan that aims to facilitate smooth flow of goods, create new, good-paying jobs, and drive overall prosperity for our region,” Roger Guenther, Executive Director at Port Houston, said. “The Houston market continues to thrive, and we are well-positioned now and for the future.”
