US container ports may see a near-record surge in inbound cargo as retailers rush to import goods ahead of a potential East and Gulf Coast ports strike.
June saw a 17.7 per cent YoY TEU increase, with July and August projected to reach 2.34 million TEU each.
If trends continue, 2024 could total 24.9 million TEU, up 12.1 per cent from 2023.
