US January Port Houston chem tanker arrivals rise by 5.6% year on year
Chemical tanker arrivals at Port Houston started the year off on a positive note, rising by 5.6% compared with the same month a year ago, while overall arrivals are down by 12% as global economies continue to be impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
According to shipping data from the Greater Houston Port Bureau (GHPB), January chemical tanker arrivals are down by 3.2% from the previous month.
The increase in January chemical tanker arrivals is more in line with the monthly average of arrivals over the past three years.
In 2018, Port Houston averaged 149.9 arrivals/month, according to the GHPB data. In 2019, the average rose to 158/month. The average fell to 152.2/month last year.
