BTS Port Performance Freight Statistics

U.S. seaports; capacity and throughput measures delivered through dashboards and an annual report to Congress. Product-specific history and cadence vary: annual reports are available for 2016–2026; Monthly TEUs covers Jan 2019–Mar 2026; Weekly Vessel Berthing Statistics covers Jan 2025–present. The program publishes annual reports; other dashboard update schedules are not stated. This is distinct from BTS TranStats, already listed separately.
