摘要：	Much like every node on the global supply chain, the North American container seaport sector endured a series of disruptions caused by the pandemic-but it still ended up handling more containers than ever over the course of the past two years. In fact, U.S.-bound retail container import volumes saw strong spring numbers. For May, the most recent month for which data is available, import volume increased 6% compared to April, and was up 2.7% annually. What's more, this tally represents a new monthly import record, going back to when the National Retail Federation (NRF) initially began tracking imports, coming in ahead of the previous record set in March. And as retailers work to meet ongoing strong demand levels and hedge against potential West Coast port labor disruptions, the NRF doesn't see volumes slipping any time soon-a period that will be sure to test the limits of the North American port infrastructure.
