While the U.S. was a net exporter via vessels of crude oil in 2024, exporting 208 million short tons, we also imported 150 million short tons of crude oil via vessels. Sixty-seven percent of crude oil by value were transported via vessels, compared to other modes.

So far, in 2025, there has been a change in both the number of tankers anchoring at U.S. ports and in the amount of time each tanker remains anchored. The data cited in this spotlight can also be used to track other types of shipping that are important to supply chains. The Port Performance Freight Statistics Program will continue to monitor vessel activity to provide an overview of port throughput and capacity. For more port statistics, visit https://bts.gov/ports.
