Abstract:

The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act established the Port Performance Freight Statistics Program (PPFSP) in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The FAST Act requires an annual report to Congress that includes statistics on capacity and throughput for selected maritime ports. This annual report builds on previous editions and provides new data and performance metrics. The PPFSP covers all five major categories of waterborne cargo: containerized, dry bulk, liquid bulk, break bulk, and roll-on/roll-off (Ro/Ro). Commodities transported in maritime commerce vary greatly, affecting the types of vessels, ports, and terminals used. For example, one terminal may be equipped with elevators to load and unload dry bulk commodities, such as coal and grains, while another uses ship-to-shore gantry cranes to load and unload containers. The statistics in this report measure total port capacity and throughput for the top ports in 2018. The report also shows changes in throughput from previous years to illustrate the extent of changes in cargo handled.
