Abstract:Pursuant to the requirements of Section 6018 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act; P.L. 114-94; Dec. 4, 2015; 49 USC 6314), the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) has completed the 2024 annual report of the Port Performance Freight Statistics Program. The FAST Act requires BTS to report on the top 25 maritime ports as measured by 1) overall cargo tonnage, 2) dry bulk cargo tonnage, or 3) by twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) of containerized cargo. In 2016, the Working Group commissioned by BTS Director recommended that U.S. Corps of Engineers (USACE) Waterborne Commerce Statistics be used to generate top 25 ports. The program provides nationally consistent capacity and throughput performance measures for these ports.
As required, the annual report highlights summary statistics of the Nation’s largest container, tonnage, and dry bulk ports and can be downloaded at https://www.bts.gov/ports/. Because ranking the top ports requires nationally consistent port data, port rankings are based on 2021 data—the most recent USACE data. For purposes other than ranking the ports, this report uses the latest data available through the time of this writing in late 2023.
