This month two announcements have
come out from Port Houston. The
first is Port Houston moved to the number 5 spot in rankings for U.S.
container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) handled in
2022. The other is as of May 2023 the Port
has handled over 1.5 million TEUs which is down from last year record setting container
imports. Port Houston also announced
Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway started the beginning of June 2023 new
intermodal container services at Port Houston.
The rail services started on-dock rail to certain cities in the West and
Texas which gets trucks off the roads. This is good news to Houston drivers! If you would like to read more about these
