Best Quote: According to the World Shipping Council, a Washington, D.C.-based industry trade group, container trade by liners has grown 53 percent from 31,100 container shipments per day in 2000 to 47,650 a day in 2006. There is tremendous growth of container shipping by liners. Offsetting the growth is the limited availability of new terminal facilities in the United States.
