Import cargo volume at the nation’s major retail container ports is forecast to level off this month after nearly 18 months of year-over-year gains. It's expected to remain steady into mid-summer before resuming gains, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report released by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.

Import cargo volume at the nation’s major retail container ports is expected to be up 11 percent in February over the same month last year, and the first half of 2011 should be up 6 percent over the same period in 2010, according to the monthly Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
