US holiday imports slow after peak

Container imports at American box terminals is forecast to grow 3.8% year-on-year in December as the peak season winds down and holiday merchandise makes its way fromcongested ports to retailer shelves.
 
The National Retail Federation (NRF) and Hackett Associates revealed in its latest monthly survey on 5 December that box volume is forecast at 1.37M teu in December.That compares with a forecasted 4.8% y-o-y increase in November to 1.41M, and an 8.5% y-o-y increase in October, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available.
 
A labour contract between West Coast box terminal operators and dockworkers expired on 1 July. That prompted concerns about potential disruptions that led importers to ship earlier than usual and divert.

美国假日进口达峰值后走缓

    随着旺季结束，假日商品从拥挤的港口转至零售商的货架，美国集装箱码头的集装箱进口预计12月份同比仅增长3.8%。

    全美零售商联合会(NRF)和哈科特协会在12月5日最新发布的月度调查中透露，12月份的集装箱量预计将为137万teu。曾预测11月同比增长4.8%达到141万，10月份同比增长8.5%。
 
    西海岸集装箱码头运营商和码头工人之间的劳动合同于7月1日到期。这导致进口商因担心可能出现装卸中断的情况而选择比往年更早装船，并将货物转运至美国东海岸。
