U.S. Seaports Outlook Report
Seaports are a vital economic engine for the U.S. as they help deliver essential goods to consumers, ship exports overseas and support millions of jobs. As a result, the volume of goods that pass through each port has a direct correlation to industrial real estate demand. It is estimated that the U.S. contributes more than 26% of the total world consumption, making the ocean
freight industry crucial to economic growth. The major seaports across the country all posted strong results in 2019, some even reporting record months in the fourth quarter for both loaded inbound and outbound container volume. In this interactive report, we will review the current state of the top nine U.S. seaports. We will explore the factors driving container volume
fundamentals and provide an outlook for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. Additionally, we will delve into the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on U.S. seaports and, in turn, global supply chains, and explore specific strategies that could help weather the challenges ahead.
