INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

摘要

Industry Insights is Marine Log's quick snapshot of current trends in the global marine marketplace. In this edition, we examine both U.S. sea trade with China through August 2019 and U.S. waterborne foreign trade through September 2019. Total trade with China has been on a downward trend over the last few years despite U.S. imports to China being up in 2018 over 2017. Imports went down again in 2019. The export statistics outlined by the U.S. Bureau of Census' U.S. Merchandise Trade report consist of goods valued at more than $2,500 per commodity shipped by individuals and organizations (including exporters, freight forwarders and carriers) from the U.S. to other countries.
