All nine regions show significant double-digit growth in the number of container vessel arrivals compared with the calls in the second quarter of 2022, according to the S&P Global Market Intelligence Port Performance Program, owing to an amended berth move per-hour boundary that includes more vessel calls in the data. From a longer-term perspective, vessel calls are down compared with the first quarter of 2019 in five of the nine regions. Northeast Asia and North America recorded the steepest declines in container vessel arrivals compared with the pre-COVID-19 period. Port productivity levels saw a strong year-on-year growth in North America and North East Asia, while they remained relatively stable in the Mediterranean and Latin America & the Caribbean. Three of the nine world's port regions had to accept a decline in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. Considering the trends in the past four and a half years, the number of port moves per hour saw a strong increase in Northeast Asia (+17%) and a double-digit decline in Oceania (-25%). The other regions recorded smaller changes. |
