摘要：	Port Houston handled 315,983 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) in June 2023, making the total for the year thus far more than 1.8 million TEUs, a decrease of just 2 percent compared to last year's record-breaking year, the port announced July 19. Loaded exports continue to lead the way, with 673,228 TEUs through the first half of the year, an increase of 12 percent compared to last year. Loaded imports are down 7 percent year-to-date compared to last year. "It's not surprising that import volumes are slightly under last year's unprecedented pace," said Roger Guenther, executive director at Port Houston. "But container activity through Houston remains strong overall. To put it into perspective, import TEUs at Port Houston are up 30 percent compared to 2019, before the pandemic." At Port Houston's breakbulk facilities, general cargo declined 22 percent year-to-date compared to 2022. However, there continues to be demand for rail, oil country goods, line pipe and other products, resulting in steel imports up 11 percent this month compared to June 2022, the port said.
