Oakland, Calif. - Port of Oakland containerized import volume for 2017 is outpacing 2016 totals despite a pause last month. The Port reported today that imports were up 3.8 percent through the first 11 months of this year. Gains came mostly from the summer-autumn peak season when retailers replenished holiday inventories, the Port said. The Port said that import volume in November declined 1.6 percent from the same month a year ago. Import volume had risen 12.6 percent in September and 6.4 percent in October. Total 2017 container volume – imports, exports and empties – was up 2 percent through November, the Port said.
