Ocean Shipping Container Availability Report A weekly publica on of the Transporta on Services Division, AMS, USDA www.ams.usda.gov/ContainerAvailabilityReport

USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

On average, the Ports of New York and Long Beach have the most containers

available among the 18 loca ons reported. Availability at these loca ons is

expected to increase over the next 2 weeks, un l May 16.

Availability of 20‐ containers at most loca ons is expected to rise the most over

the next 2 weeks ending May 16. The excep ons include availability at Denver,

Houston, New Orleans, Oakland, and Tacoma.

Refrigerated containers are in greatest supply in New York, Norfolk, Sea le, and to

a lesser extent Long Beach.

Dry 40‐ containers are in greatest supply in New York, Long Beach, Norfolk,

Dallas, Chicago, Memphis, and New Orleans this week. Carriers are repor ng

availability in Oakland and Savannah is par cularly low for 40 standard

containers.

At many of the reported loca ons, availability of 40‐ high‐cube containers is

greater than the availability of 40‐ standard containers this week.

Ocean Shipping Container Availability Report — April 25, 2012 2

Understanding this Report The weekly Ocean Shipping Container Availability Report (OCSAR) provides a snapshot of container availability for westbound

transpacific trade lanes at select intermodal loca ons around the country. The data presented in this report are gathered from the 10

member carriers of the Westbound Transpacific Stabiliza on Agreement (WTSA). The WTSA carriers include, APL, COSCO, Evergreen,

Hanjin Shipping, Hapag Lloyd, Yang Ming Transport Corpora on, OOCL, NYK Line, K Line, and Hyundai Merchant Marine. The following

items provide guidance to be er understand the informa on presented within:

The data are es mates of container availability per week by the par cipa ng carriers. The carriers determine container availability

by comparing current supplies at each of the 18 intermodal loca ons with the demand for these containers based on up‐to‐date

bookings or reserva on informa on in the westbound transpacific trade lane.

Each week, par cipa ng carriers report the es mated number of containers available for the current week (W1) as well as

es mates for the subsequent two weeks (W2 and W3).

Maps on pages 3‐5 offer a na onal overview of weekly container availability, as well as an average of availability over the past 6

months. The weekly na onal data are derived from the sum of the individual carrier responses at each intermodal loca on.

Individual carrier responses are presented by loca on on pages 6‐23 and have been sorted from largest to smallest. Specific carrier

iden fica on with the availability data is not provided to maintain carrier confiden ality.

Carrier responses showing nega ve numbers, such as –29, should be interpreted as meaning that 29 containers are needed by

shippers but the carrier is not able to supply them. A posi ve number, such as 64, would mean 64 containers are available that are

not demanded. An indica on of 0 means the carriers have the exact amount of containers needed based on current supply and

demand es mates.

In addi on to the weekly container availability data, the par cipa ng carriers provide average weekly throughput data for the past

6 months. These data help readers understand the aggregate flow of containers that have moved through the 18 select loca ons

by the 10 par cipa ng carriers over the previous 6 months. These data will only be updated every 6 months.

Availability levels are subject to change, and may be affected by any delays in return of equipment to carriers by shippers or

consignees, and by free me restric ons imposed by railroads. Due to the dynamic nature of the container industry, carriers

cannot be held responsible for the level of availability at the me of inquiry.

Data presented in the report do not imply availability of chassis.

Container availability es mates represent availability for all export cargo, not just agricultural products.

USDA collects these data on a voluntary basis and cannot be held responsible for the status of container availability when a reader

makes inquiry with an ocean carrier. USDA relies on the par cipa ng ocean carriers to ensure the data is accurate.

Terminology:
