Port of Oakland February box volumes fall 7pc to 174,906 TEU
BAD weather coupled with the Lunar New Year in late January led to fewer containers going through the Port of Oakland in February.
The Oakland facility handed 174,906 TEU of empty and loaded containers in February, a seven per cent year-over-year decline, American Shipper reported.
Loaded exports in February totalled 72,585 TEU, down 1.2 per cent year over year, as inclement weather in the US interior curtailed shipments of Asia-bound exports through Oakland, the port said.
Loaded imports in February reached 64,110 TEU, a 9.3 per cent year-over-year decline in the wake of Lunar New Year, which began January 28 this year. "US importers stock up before Asian factories shut down for the holidays", the port said. "Shipments typically moderate in the post-holiday period."
Overall, the Port of Oakland is called by 29 liner services, all of which deploy fully-cellular containerships, according to ocean carrier schedule and capacity database BlueWater Reporting's Port Dashboard tool.
