Ocean Shipping Container Availability Report — December 27, 2017 23

Understanding this Report The weekly Ocean Shipping Container Availability Report (OCSAR) provides a snapshot of container availability for westbound

transpacific trade lanes at select intermodal locations around the country. The data presented in this report are gathered from 5 ocean

carriers including COSCO Shipping, Evergreen, Yang Ming Transport Corporation, OOCL, and Mitsui OSK Line.

The data are estimates of container availability per week by the participating carriers. The carriers determine container availability

by comparing current supplies at each of the 18 intermodal locations with the demand for these containers based on up-to-date

bookings or reservation information in the westbound transpacific trade lane.

Each week, participating carriers report the estimated number of containers available for the current week (W1) as well as

estimates for the subsequent 2 weeks (W2 and W3).

Maps on pages 2–4 offer a national overview of weekly container availability. The weekly national data are derived from the sum of

the individual carrier responses at each intermodal location.

Individual carrier responses are presented by location on pages 6–23 and have been sorted from largest to smallest. To maintain

carrier confidentiality, specific carrier identification is not provided.

Carrier responses showing negative numbers, such as -29, should be interpreted as meaning that 29 containers are needed by

shippers but the carrier is not able to supply them. A positive number, such as 64, would mean 64 containers are available that are

not demanded. An indication of 0 means the carriers have the exact amount of containers needed based on current supply and

demand estimates.

Availability levels are subject to change, and may be affected by delays in return of equipment to carriers by shippers or consignees,

and by free time restrictions imposed by railroads. Due to the dynamic nature of the container industry, carriers cannot be held

responsible for the level of availability at the time of inquiry.

Data presented in the report do not imply availability of chassis.

Container availability estimates represent availability for all export cargo, not just agricultural products.

USDA collects these data on a voluntary basis and cannot be held responsible for the status of container availability when a reader

makes inquiry with an ocean carrier. USDA relies on the participating ocean carriers to ensure the data is accurate.

Terminology:

20ft Dry Container (20ft): A standard shipping container that is 20 feet long.

40ft Dry Container (40ft): A standard shipping container that is 40 feet long.

40ft reefer: A refrigerated shipping container which is 40 feet long.

20ft reefer: A refrigerated shipping container which is 20 feet long.

Chassis: A wheeled frame to which a shipping container can be locked for storage or movement. (Plural chassis)
