Global container throughput continued to show resilience in September 2025 despite the drag on trade from US tariffs, according to the latest data from Container Trades Statistics CTS.
While September volumes eased by 5.6 from Augusts record high, they still reflected a solid year-on-year increase.
CTS data showed that after four consecutive months of global container volumes exceeding 16 million TEUs, September saw a moderation to just under that level, marking a month-on-month slowdown but maintaining a strong overall performance.
