The first nine months of 2026 also marked the strongest nine-month period in Port history, with customers moving 162.7 million tons of commodities, surpassing the previous record of 153.3 million tons set during the same period in 2025 by 6.1%.<\/p>\n<p>Growth during the third quarter was driven by strong performance across several commodity categories. Liquefied natural gas volumes increased 46.2% to 6.6 million tons, while NGL rose 23.7% to 525,761 tons. Dry bulk commodities increased 20.9% to 2.1 million tons; other bulk liquids grew 7.8% to 4.1 million tons, and refined products increased 3.7% to 8.5 million tons compared with the third quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>These gains were partially offset by lower volumes in breakbulk cargo, which declined 94.7% to 17,041 tons, and agricultural commodities, which decreased 69% to 192,533 tons. Crude oil shipments totaled 30.4 million tons, a 2.8% decrease from the third quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Port of Corpus Christi customers moved a record 52.4 million tons of commodities through the Corpus Christi Ship&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-471725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
