THE Port of Houston Authority posted a six per cent year-on-year increase in container volume in 2013 to two million TEU, setting a record for the port at 36 million tonnes of cargo. The port authority said in a statement that the increase in the movement of loaded containers outpaced that of all other US ports. Improved grain and coal exports over the prior year drove 13 per cent growth in bulk cargo to 11 million tonnes. Operating revenue last year increased four per cent to US$231 million, marking the fourth consecutive year that year-on-year increases have been achieved. Asian Shipper News
