In recent months, Gulf Coast ports have experienced a surge in cargo volume, reflecting a resurgence in global trade and economic activity. Among these bustling ports, Houston and New Orleans stand out as key players, offering strategic advantages and efficient logistics solutions for clients and partners of Fleur De Lis Worldwide.
Port Houston has long been a major gateway for international trade and has seen a remarkable increase in container shipments, with a 20% year-on-year rise in March alone. Roger Guenther, Port Houston's executive director, attributes this growth to robust consumer spending and strong demand for imports. Loaded export volumes, including locally produced hydrocarbons and plastic resins, have also surged by 12% year-on-year in March and 15% year to date, reflecting the region's solid growth in exports – totaling 404,124 TEUs year to date.
