October US container imports were 2,494,635 TEUs, marking the fourth month in a row of volumes exceeding 2.4 million TEUs, a threshold that has historically strained US maritime logistics, the November Global Shipping Report by Descartes Systems Group noted.
For the first ten months of 2024, volumes grew by 13.1 per cent YoY.
At seven of the top 10 US ports, transit time delays rose in October.
