Mobile AL Container Traffic Up, Expected to Continue to do Well in Future Predicitions

According to a recent report from Zepol Corp, a company based in Minnesota that specializes in tracking trade activity, Mobile AL had a decent outcome for a generally slow year as far as container traffic is concerned.  Zepol Corp reported that overall shipments were up,  and TEUs (a standard industry measurement that shows container volume) were flat; though this is not too bad considering that other ports around the country have been struggling to come within 10 or 20 percent of last year’s totals.

This year marked the first full year of operation for the new Mobile Container Terminal, and it was the nation’s number 26 container destination in 2009, based on volume.  Although predictions do not expect that 2010 will show a total rebound of container traffic, Mobile AL is anticipated to be among the biggest and most significant ports in the country projected ten years out.
