WASHINGTON–Import volume at the nation’s major retailer container ports will jump 25 percent in the first half of this year versus 2009, according to an estimate from the National Retail Federation.
The monthly Global Tracker Report, provided by NRF and Hackett Associates, forecast first-half container volume at 7.4 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEU; one TEU is a 20-foot cargo container or its equivalent), up from 5.9 million TEU in the first half of last year. The prediction said June volume will jump 36 percent higher than June 2009, February volume would rise 30 percent over February 2009, April volume will be 27 percent ahead of last year’s April and May’s volume will grow 26 percent over May 2009.
