Port Houston Gets USDA OK to Directly Handle Cold Treatment Cargo - The U.S. Department of Agriculture has authorized Port Houston to handle cold treatment cargo, boosting opportunities for local drayage companies. This new designation shortens transit times and reduces costs, enhancing product quality for importers. John Moseley, chief commercial officer at Port Houston, highlighted that this development will allow the port to manage perishable, reefer cargo treated in transit. The cold treatment (CT) process, essential for pest mitigation in fresh produce, can now be completed while in transit, avoiding the need for prior treatment at transshipment ports. This change, approved on July 17 by the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, benefits truckers and drayage companies by increasing cargo volume and business. Port Houston can now accept more perishable products like citrus fruits, grapes, and blueberries from South America, South Africa, southern Europe, and the Mediterranean. The port's new express lane program and terminal improvements, with sub-45-minute transaction times, promise significant advantages for the trucking community and cold storage facilities in Houston. This strategic upgrade enhances the port’s service to Middle America and the western U.S. #PortHouston  #latestnews #updates #LogisticsRevolution #EfficientWarehousing #WarehouseTrends #LogisticsShift #EternityLogistics #latestupdates #logisticschallenges #LogisticsFacts #EternityInsights #ShippingInfo #logistics #uslogistics #interestingfacts #trucking #usa #containershipping #carrier #shippers #linkedin #linkedingrowth #newupdates
