The Port of Corpus Christi and its customers moved a record 53 million tons (Mt) through the Corpus Christi Ship Channel in third-quarter 2024, according to an Oct. 15 press release.
The 53 Mt moved was a 2% increase compared to the third-quarter 2023, which was previously the highest quarter in the Port’s history, the Port said.
The higher cargos moved in third-quarter 2024 were driven by increases in crude oil and dry bulk movements, the Port said.
“After a slightly slower start to the year compared with the record-breaking way our customers ended 2023, we’re pleased to see the tremendous pickup in volume through the gateway in the third quarter of 2024,” said Kent Britton, CEO for the Port of Corpus Christi.
Year-to-date, Port customers have moved 152.5 Mt of commodities through the waterway, up slightly compared to the same period in 2023.
