WEEKLY OPERATIONS UPDATE – MONDAY 11/30/2020

  • The flow of goods into and out of U.S. ports is reaching historic levels. Both Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach had a record breaking September, processing 13.3% and 12.5% more volume respectively. The NY/NJ port set a monthly container record in August with 688,365 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). It then broke that record in September by handling 720,969 TEUs, a 15.4% year-over-year increase.

  • As the economy and import volume has rebounded, TRAC Intermodal has been extremely responsive, aggressively adding incremental fleet along with reducing out-of-service inventories. TRAC continues to focus on key pinch point markets in an effort to minimize import-export supply chain interruptions. This continues to be a very dynamic and evolving market and TRAC remains focused on providing available inventory to meet commercial demand.
  • As peak holiday season gets underway, port officials attribute the record months to both replenishment of warehouse and distribution center inventories along with retailers prepping for year-end holidays. However, uncertainty remains in international trade and the national economy, given the second COVID-19 surge.
  • TRAC’s field operations continue to serve customers in all markets. In addition, our office employees are equipped to seamlessly support our customers and service partners via phone or email in a secure and productive environment, while working remotely.
