Port Houston container volumes edge higher as steel imports surge 54%

Port Houston container volumes edged higher as steel imports surged 54% year on year, lifting total TEU throughput to 1.2 million. Steel now comprises 14.7% of import tonnage, up from 9.8% a year earlier. The port expanded its steel staging area by 28 acres in June 2026 and deployed new cranes and rail siding for 10,000-ton unit trains. Its digital cargo tracking system processes 42,000 steel-related container movements monthly — a 39% rise since January 2026. CEO Ricardo S. Maldonado credited the growth to 18 months of targeted infrastructure and software investments.

Lowe’s launches drone delivery in NC; 20-minute arrivals, 2.5-lb limit

Lowe’s has launched a drone delivery pilot in Matthews, North Carolina, on Sept. 24, offering deliveries in as little as 20 minutes for lightweight items up to 2.5 pounds. Partnering with Wing and DoorDash, the program targets urgent micro-orders like batteries and tape — not bulk goods. With $86 billion in fiscal 2025 sales and 1,750+ stores, Lowe’s treats this as a focused test of operational utility. Wing’s network — already responsible for over 1 million deliveries and slated to serve 40 million Americans via 270+ Walmart locations by 2027 — underscores the growing role of shared drone infrastructure in retail logistics.
