Figures from the federal source files: EPA’s ECHO downloads, CMS provider files and the FMCSA census.
Vessel and containerized figures are the U.S. Census Bureau’s own mode-of-transport split of each port × commodity × country cell in its monthly Port HS6 Database, summed over the window named on the page; port and country names are the Census’s Schedule D district/port and Schedule C country lists. No figure here is an estimate and no berth or terminal is named: the source’s finest geographic key is the four-digit Schedule D port.
