WASHINGTON, August 8, 2022 \u2013 After a record-setting spring, imports at the nation\u2019s major container ports are expected to slow significantly for the remainder of the year but 2022 should still see a net gain over 2021, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cRetail sales are still growing, but the economy is slowing down and that is reflected in cargo imports,\u201d NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said. \u201cLower volumes may help ease congestion at some ports, but others are still seeing backups and global supply chain challenges are far from over. Our biggest concern is the potential for disruption because of separate labor negotiations at the West Coast ports and the freight railroads. Concluding both sets of negotiations without disruption is critical as the important holiday season approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association expired July 1, and many retailers brought in cargo early and shifted to East and Gulf Coast ports to avoid any potential disruptions related to contract negotiations, with early shipments helping drive second-quarter volumes. The freight railroads and their union are now working with a Presidential Emergency Board to resolve their contract discussions, which have been ongoing for two years. In addition, the Port of Oakland was briefly shut down in late July amid protests by independent truckers over a new state law aimed at eliminating independent owner-operators.<\/p>\n

U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 2.25 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units \u2013 one 20-foot container or its equivalent \u2013 in June, the latest month for which final numbers are available. That was down 5.9 percent from May\u2019s 2.4 million TEU \u2013 the largest number of containers imported in a single month since NRF began tracking imports in 2002 \u2013 but up 4.9 percent year over year. June\u2019s results brought the first half of the year to 13.5 million TEU, a 5.5 percent increase year over year.<\/p>\n

Ports have not yet reported July\u2019s numbers, but Global Port Tracker projected the month at 2.26 million TEU, up 3.2 percent year over year. August is forecast at 2.2 million TEU, down 3 percent; September at 2.15 million TEU, up 0.4 percent; October at 2.13 million TEU, down 3.9 percent; November at 2.06 million TEU, down 2.7 percent, and December at 2.03 million TEU, down 3 percent.<\/p>\n

Those numbers would bring the second half of the year to 12.8 million TEU, down 1.5 percent from the same period last year. But 2022 overall is expected to total 26.3 million TEU, up 2 percent from last year\u2019s annual record of 25.8 million TEU. The cargo data comes as NRF continues to forecast that 2022 retail sales will grow between 6 percent and 8 percent over 2021. Sales were up 7 percent during the first half of the year.<\/p>\n
