Port of Houston container growth continues

Author:   Posttime:2022-11-15

PORT of Houston executive director Roger Guenther declared the port has yet to experience any softening in import loads, reports San Francisco's Business Wire

September is the second-highest month in container cargo volumes, only slightly behind August.
Mr Guenther emphasized it was in the best interests and benefit of all supply chain stakeholders to minimize container dwell time at Port Houston terminals.
In response, the Commission authorized amendments to Tariffs 14 and 15 covering Barbours Cut Terminal and Bayport Container Terminal.
Effective December 1, 2022, a sustained import dwell fee will be implemented, and an optional excessive import dwell fee was authorized.
The new fee structure aims to mitigate long-dwelling loaded import containers by incentivizing cargo movement.
Mr Guenther shared that staff evaluated several options to improve Port Houston's cargo movement.
The staff concluded it would be reasonable to further incentivize the Beneficial Cargo Owners (BCO) or third parties to accept the charge.
