OCEAN carriers moved 14.4 million TEU in May worldwide, a 1.3 per cent year-on-year increase, according to a Container Trade Statistics (CTS) report.
This reflected strong growth in imports
and exports to and from Europe and exports from North America, which was
offset by a decline in Asian volumes, said CTS, based in London area
Woking.
April to May, global volumes increased 4.3 per cent. Exports from Europe
rose 3.1 per cent to 2.5 million TEU, while imports were up 2.6 per
cent to 2.8 million TEU.
But Far East exports fell one per cent to 8.4 million TEU in May, while
imports slipped 0.2 per cent to 5.7 million TEU year on year.
North American exports rose one per cent to 1.4 million TEU, but imports were unchanged at 2.4 million TEU.
Year-to-date in the first five months of 2018, volumes increased four per cent to 68.6 million TEU year on year.
