April 2021 Sea Container Imports Having A Record Year
The import container counts for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach rate of growth were in record territory for Aprils. Exports are still having the worst year since 2009.
Analyst Opinion of Container Movements
Import container counts continue to surge. There is chaos in container movements with containers in the wrong place and shortages of rail cars to move containers - however, the container situation again improved this month - but there continues a shortage of containers and unloading berths.
Simply looking at this month versus last month, import growth slowed and exports improved - but exports are having their best year ever and exports the worst year since 2009
