| 摘要： | From 1995 to 2006, world container traffic more than tripled in volume from 137 million to 417 million TEUs, growing at an average annual rate of about 11 percent. Expanding U.S. and global economic activity fueled this phenomenal growth in maritime container freight. With the exception of a few products, such as cars transported in specialized vessels, huge container vessels carry manufactured products of nearly every description. Although the United States remained the leading trading nation, accounting for 12 percent of total world merchandise trade in 2005, the United States ranked second in container traffic, a position it has held since relinquishing the number one position to China in 1998. The United States position in container traffic directly relates to its position as the worlds largest trading partner with the worlds biggest economy. U.S. total imports ranked first with over 16 percent of global imports in 2005, while U.S. total exports accounted for 8.7 percent of global exports, following Germany, which was the leading exporter. The United States also remained the worlds largest economy, accounting for 28 percent of world gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005, up from 25 percent in 1995. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
