Container throughput at the Port of Houston was up 11% in the year to the end of August, taking total year-to-date volumes to 1.7M TEU, compared to 1.6M TEU over the same period in 2017.

Funding announcements this month for two major intermodal projects in the US highlight the huge difference in the cost of civil works between adding rail capacity at Savannah and reconfiguring an existing facility in Long Beach.

This month, Gulftainer signed an agreement through its US subsidiary GT USA Wilmington LLC, with the Diamond State Port Corporation (DSPC)

Hyster Company in the US has been awarded a grant from California Climate Investments (CCI) to support the development of a zero-emissions laden container handler powered by a Nuvera fuel cell, technology owned by Hyster.
