Portflow attribution
Why is this port moving?
Houston softened today as container throughput eased and vessel arrivals thinned out. A partial offset came as vessels turned around faster alongside.
Time at berth
+3.97 pts
Inverse of average vessel time alongside.
TEU activity
-3.87 pts
Daily lifts vs. the port's own 30-day baseline.
Current model
Port Conditions
Conditions use the current modeled activity, vessel, wait and berth-utilization values.
