Port of Houston Transports 20 Million Tons of Cargo in 6 Months!

Since January of 2015 to June of 2015, The Port of Houston has transported 20 Million Tons of Cargo. Houston should be proud of our booming economy. The Port of Houston is already the largest in the country in terms of bringing in foreign tonnage. Loaded container units and steel imports are the key performance drivers responsible for the strong solid growth in cargo. Year to date through June, the Port Authority's Barbours Cut and Bayport Container Terminals showed a 20 percent increase in loaded container units. The general cargo terminals showed a robust 26 percent growth in import steel tonnage during this same period. I am very proud of Houston’s economy and if you are a Houstonian, you should be too!
