Add to the fact that the port crosses the intercoastal waterway, a barge canal that snakes the Texas Coast to the NE and you have quite the traffic.

If someone is interested in Southern Port traffic, look at the Port of Corpus Christi, again I suspect it has more traffic than most NE "big city" ports.

I think the OP knows the Houston area better than most other fellow Texans -- including those Texans who -- half-seriously -- say that "Y'all, Houston ain't really Texan/Texas".
