A year ago, I predicted overall imports would grow 2.8 percent in 2012; through September, imports were up 3.3 percent, and I'm forecasting full-year 2012 growth in the 3.0 to 3.5 percent range. As expected,... Annual Review & Outlook 2013: Association of Canadian Port Authorities Given the number of unknowns faced by the global economy, any predictions as to what lies ahead for 2013 are likely to be about as accurate as reading the entrails of crows.

Annual Review & Outlook 2013: APM Terminals Americas 2013 will be a continued year of change. We will see even larger vessels call throughout North and Latin America as shipping lines cascade further tonnage into these markets.

Bankruptcies abound, and... Annual Review & Outlook 2013: AlixPartners To use an oft-cited, but appropriate, metaphor, the global container shipping community continues to find itself in somewhat of a "perfect storm."

Prospects for Growth Stronger Next Year The United States in 2013 may resume its role as the economic engine for the rest of the world, but to do so will require deep compromise from Republicans and Democrats to avoid the fiscal cliff that, left unchecked, could send the economy and trade over the edge. But with much...

Carriers Keeping Eyes on Europe The Asia-Europe liner trades will dominate container shipping's strategic planning through 2013 as ocean carriers confront a nightmare mix of declining traffic, persistent overcapacity, high oil prices and the imminent arrival of the world's largest vessels.
