Growth in the U.S. liner trades favored imports in fiscal year 2006. China accounted for 37 percent of the total U.S. container trade, while over half of it was concentrated in Northeast Asia. The fiscal year also marked the introduction of the world's largest containership, 'Emma Maersk', reputed to hold up to 13,500 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units). Overall, concentration in the liner shipping industry remained relatively stable during fiscal year 2006 after the large scale acquisitions of the preceding year. This Annual Report highlights areas of particular interest and provides an office-by-office synopsis of activities and accomplishments during the past fiscal year. |
