APPENDIX C
Average Size of Containerships Calling at U.S. Ports & Average Number of Containers Exchanged
Notes to the Charts
The data displayed in the charts that follow are derived from two sources of information, namely, IHS Sea‐
Web and the Journal of Commerce’s Port Import/Export Reporting System (PIERS).
The charts that show the average size of containerships calling at different port locations in the U.S. on a
monthly basis over time (shown in the top‐half of each page) are derived from data sourced from IHS Sea‐
Web. By ship name and IMO number, the containerships that called at each port each month were identified.
The design capacity (in TEUs) of each containership calling at each port each month also was extracted from
IHS Sea‐Web. A simple arithmetic average of the size of all containerships (average TEU capacity) calling each
month at each port was computed. An exponential trend line was fitted to the observations derived, which
expresses the average rate of change in terms of a constant percentage change per unit of time. (A linear
trend line which would express the rate of change as a constant absolute change per unit of time.) A
limitation of the monthly IHS Sea‐Web data that was used in this exercise is that a containership calling at the
port in any one month is recorded once only regardless of the actual number of calls a particular ship may
have made. However, as most containership voyages are of relatively long duration, typically one month or
more, it is believed this is a rather minor data limitation.
The charts that show the average number of containers exchanged by containerships calling at different port
locations in the U.S. (shown in the bottom‐half of each page) made use of PIERS data to obtain the amount of
TEUs discharged from and loaded to container vessels calling at the port each month. The number of
containership calls at the port each month was obtained from IHS Sea‐Web (subject to the previously
disclosed data limitation). Vessel container exchanges normally are measured in terms of container lifts,
thereby disregarding the size of the containers discharged or loaded. To retain this measure, a standard
conversion factor of 1.75 was used to translate the loaded TEUs data obtained from PIERS into an estimate of
the number of containers lifted off or onto the ships (on average, one container equates to 1.75 TEUs). The
number of loaded containers handled when divided by the number of containership calls at the port that
month gives the average number of containers exchanged by the containerships that called at the port that
month. The average container exchange figures displayed in these charts are based on loaded containers
(i.e., containers loaded with cargo) and, therefore, exclude the handling of empty containers from or onto
the vessels. The handling of empty containers, typically, would inflate the size of the average (full) container
exchange shown in the charts between about 20 to 35 percent, depending on how well‐balanced imports and
exports are at a particular port.
