休斯顿航道上的船只(由休斯顿港提供)

随着休斯顿港和休斯顿航道的持续增长, 金融投资, innovation and community engagement will be essential to support that growth, 据休斯顿港领导称. The Greater Houston Partnership's annual State of the Port event on Sept. 6 convened industry leaders and supporters as Port Houston leaders provided insight into the port's success and future.

2022年，休斯顿港处理了33艘船.5 million metric tons of containerized cargo and traded with over 220 countries, a testament to the role we play in connecting global trade and offers significant financial impact across our 12-county region 和 state of Texas,凯蒂·普莱尔说, the Partnership's chief development officer and senior vice president of member engagement. 

The Houston Ship Channel complex encompasses more than 200 public and private 设施, with Port Houston owning and operating eight public 设施 along the 52-mile channel. 里克。坎, 休斯顿港务局港口委员会主席, 发表主题演讲, providing insight into the progress of 项目11 和 ship channel's economic impact on the region 和 nation. 根据Martin Associates最近进行的一项研究 休斯顿船舶频道的收入为439美元.20亿年 在整个国家的经济价值中，占了18.6 percent of the state’s GDP and a $100 billion increase in economic value since 2018. 

项目11, the $1 billion project designed to keep the ship channel competitive by reducing congestion and increasing safety, 今年早些时候，第一部分达到了一个关键的里程碑, 1A段完成了. The 11-mile segment, which runs from Bolivar to Redfish, widens the channel to 700 feet. The entire project is expected to be completed in 2025 but still lacks federal funding. 

"项目11 is a classic example of a Texas 'can do' [attitude] and how we partner with everyone in this room to get things done,坎波说. 

休斯顿港也投资了1美元.50亿美元的陆地投资, 包括完成港湾货柜码头的六号码头. 在小组讨论中, 坎迪斯Armenoff, 休斯顿港的执行计划经理, also discussed how investment and innovation have transformed the port. "Things are moving more fluidly" as the port works with trucking companies to ensure they're using the latest technology that allows them to be more productive, 更安全，更少闲置.  

社区参与也是该港口关注的焦点. The entity has several programs that educate communities about the opportunities and improvements along the ship channel, 包括 港口委员会社区谘询委员会 及海事教育计划.
