Domestic Container Growth, Intermodal Traffic Both See Steady Increases in Second Quarter

August 7, 2013
IANA

International volume was unable to build on its solid Q1 growth, falling 1.3 percent in Q2 after posting 3-percent gains in Q1. This decline can be attributed to surprisingly weak shipments in June, with loads falling 6 percent from a year ago. It is unclear if the June trail-off is an indicator of more to come or if the 6-percent dip is an outlier.

Intermodal trailer volumes declined 2.5 percent when compared to 2012's Q2, but this loss was less than half of the decrease in loads experienced in Q1.

"Domestic container volume was the foundation of intermodal growth in both the second quarter and year to date," said Joni Casey, president and CEO of IANA. "Despite some segments slowing in Q2, the Market Trends and Statistics data confirm the industry's underlying momentum."

Second Quarter 2013 Intermodal Volume Comparisons

Intermodal marketing company (IMC) volume slowed and intermodal loads ended up gaining only 1.1 percent, as opposed to 2.2 percent in Q1. However, while weakening imports and related transloads may have contributed to Q2's performance, stronger gains in highway volume helped offset the slower growth in intermodal business.

The Southeast region was the clear leader in the second quarter of 2013, according to IANA's Market Trends data, with intermodal increasing 8.1 percent compared to 2012. Intra-southeast shipments bested the national average, posting an impressive 11.1 percent in Q2.

Regional traffic in the Southeast United States grew 8.1 percent compared to Q2 2012, with domestic container volume leading the way up 12.4 percent, surpassing the industry average of 9 percent growth. Southeast international intermodal also bested industry statistics with a 6.7-percent gain compared to a 1.3-percent drop nationwide.
