The year-to-date volume of containers imported through the first <\/p>\n

four months of 2022 has totalled 9.94 million TEU for a 5.5 per cent gain versus <\/p>\n

the same point of 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Import<\/strong><\/p>\n

The figures come as the National Retail Federation (NRF) projects a 2.6 <\/p>\n

increase over last year driven by a stronger East Coast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the latest data from the NRF\u2019s Global Port Tracker, the total <\/p>\n

volume of loaded imports at major US ports between March and April 2022 has <\/p>\n

climbed by 6 per cent year-on-year to 2.56 million TEU \u2013 although this <\/p>\n

represents a 2.4 per cent decrease from March.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Global Port Tracker, produced with Hackett Associates, provides <\/p>\n

historical data and forecasts for key US ports on both East and West Coast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The combined loaded import volume at the monitored West Coast ports <\/p>\n

decreased by 86,000 TEU between March and April, which equates to a 6.3 per cent <\/p>\n

slide. The total loaded import volume was 1.27 million TEU, or a 0.9 per cent <\/p>\n

decrease from the same month of last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The year-to-date loaded volume imported through the first four months of <\/p>\n

2022 totalled 5.01 million TEU for a 0.3 per cent gain versus 2021.<\/p>\n

\"monthly<\/p>\n

On the West Coast, the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert recorded <\/p>\n

increases over March, whilst the ports of Los Angeles, Oakland and the Northwest <\/p>\n

Seaport Alliance posted year-on-year declines. Loaded imports in 2022 are <\/p>\n

projected to increase by 1.0 per cent over 2021 with a total of 15.2 million <\/p>\n

TEU.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The combined loaded import volume at NRF-monitored East Coast ports <\/p>\n

increased by 13,000 TEU between March and April, equal to a 1.1 per cent <\/p>\n

gain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The coast registered an all-time high in loaded import volume reaching 1.13 <\/p>\n

million TEU \u2013 a 12.2 per cent surge over the same month of 2021. The <\/p>\n

year-to-date volume imported through the first four months of 2022 totals 4.33 <\/p>\n

million TEU for a 9.6 per cent increase year-on-year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Growth over March was recorded at the ports of Montreal, Charleston, <\/p>\n

Savannah, Jacksonville, and Port Everglades. Loaded imports in 2022 are <\/p>\n

projected to increase by 3.6 per cent over 2021 with a total of 12.8 million <\/p>\n

TEU.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe impact of the economic slowdown on trade has yet to be felt as <\/p>\n

consumers are taking advantage of higher wages, increased employment and savings <\/p>\n

built up during the pandemic, all of which support strong demand for consumer <\/p>\n

goods\u201d, says the NRF report.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is reflected in our current projections of a 2.6 per cent growth rate <\/p>\n

for import container volumes for 2022, pushed mainly by a stronger East <\/p>\n

Coast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do see the beginnings of a decline in the growth rate of imports in the <\/p>\n

second half of the year as the economy responds to the anti-inflation policy <\/p>\n

measures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite this, we expect to see continued shipping capacity constraints and <\/p>\n

a likelihood of a recovery in freight rates from their recent declines. 2022 <\/p>\n

will be another bumper year for carriers, terminals and ports as the uptick in <\/p>\n

volumes from China is felt.\u201d<\/p>\n
