September 2023 container volumes were the highest monthly total so far this year at the NWSA. Consistent vessel arrivals along with increased intact intermodal rail volumes led to the strong performance. Improved vessel schedules also contributed to the increase in export volumes. September 2023 container volumes reached 329,609 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), with total container volume increasing 15.5% over September 2022. Full imports for the month increased 31.8% while full exports increased 33.6%. The September performance improved year-over-year volume comparisons though low-import demand market conditions are expected to continue in the near-term. Total TEUs declined 16.3% YTD to 2,203,757 TEUs, with full imports and exports declining 19.1% and 0.8%, respectively.
