Zepol's Data Says U.S. Imports Are Stagnant for First Half of 2013
U.S. Imports Are Down for the Month of June and Match Total Container Volume of Jan-June of 2012
(firmenpresse) - MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 07/11/13 -- Zepol Corporation, , reports that U.S. vessel imports have declined almost 3% from May to June. Imports are also 1.6% below TEUs (twenty-foot containers) seen in June of 2012. This year, U.S. ocean imports had a steady increase of 1% compared to the volume seen in 2012, but with the low June numbers that percentage has changed. Zepol has found that in the first six months of this year, compared to January through June of 2012, import volume is virtually stagnant. In fact, 2013 is down 0.3%, if you want to be picky.
"The month-to-month dips and jumps seen from imports in 2013 have averaged out to be pretty average indeed," states Zepol's CEO, Paul Rasmussen. "The first half of the year posted container volume to match that of 2012. Although, 2013 still has the potential to rise above in July and August, which are the busiest months for U.S. imports."
1. - U.S imports from Asia are down 1.5% from May and another 1.2% for the first half of the year. Imports from China are down a half a percent so far in 2013 along with South Korea, which decreased 2.8% and Japan another 6%.
