The Port of Corpus Christi which is one of the main U.S. crude oil exporters, seems to be unfazed by the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China. The port reported a new tonnage record driven mainly by an increase of exported crude oil, which was up by around 11 percent year-on-year. In the first nine months of 2018, the Port of Corpus Christi set a tonnage record of 79.3 million tons, surpassing the previous record of 77.9 million tons from 2015. The new record also eclipses the same period in 2017 by 4 million tons, an increase of 5 pct year-over-year.
