The fourth largest city in the U.S. is located directly in between the west coast with its large oil and gas market and the east coast with its vast money market. In addition to being one of the centers of the lucrative oil and gas industry, Houston is also the home of the “energy corridor”, one of the nation’s most important energy centers, the world’s largest concentration of healthcare organizations, and is the second leader in Fortune 500 companies, rivaled only by New York.

It is ranked number one U.S. port in foreign tonnage and largest Texas port with 46% in tonnage and 95% in containers, market share by total TEUs in 2014.  2
