The following report contains data on calls by oceangoing vessels of 10,000 DWT or greater at U.S. ports. The calls are presented in terms of vessels and vessel capacity (calls weighted by vessel deadweights (DWT)). For containerships, capacity is also expressed in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). After the Highlights section, there are seven summary tables. The first three summary tables contain time series (1999-2003) for calls and capacity by vessel type and flag (U.S. and Foreign). The next two summary tables contain time series for calls and capacity by vessel type and coastal regions. A list of U.S. ports that appear in the data and their associated coastal regions are given. The last two summary tables contain 2003 calls and capacity for the top 20 ports by vessel type. |
