Houston tops 2M TEU

In August 2023, the US’s leading Gulf coast port of Houston handled 20% fewer containers than in the same month of 2022. A total 307,624 TEU was processed.

Container traffic through the Port of Houston is not slowing down to the same extent as at other US ports; continuing to purchase diesel equipment is helping the port’s competitive advantage. 

Container traffic continued to increase at the Port of Houston in February, but the port says growth is slowing down and it anticipates “a general downward trend will likely continue over the next several months.”

Container traffic at Savannah and Houston broke records in 2022, but both ports fell just short of TEU milestones in the final container count.
