Top North American ports achieve 8.9pc box growth in first half
CONTAINER throughput at the top North American seaports collectively rose by 8.9 per cent in the first half of the year versus the same period in 2016.
Laden imports were the driver for improved traffic as laden exports marginally declined, reported Seeking Alpha, which added that Class I TEU traffic results continue to improve, in-line with other transport modes.
The first half performance was an improvement on the eight per cent year-on-year increase recorded in the first five months of the year.
So far this year, results have remained robust across west, east and Gulf coast ports, but non-US and Gulf Coast seaports have led the improvement.
The seaports of port Everglades, Jacksonville, Halifax, Wilmington DE andMobile have been excluded from the total calculation.
