IANA, the Intermodal Association of North America, reported strong growth in domestic intermodal shipments in August. Shipments in domestic boxes are well above the same period in 2010 and match the highpoint for 2011. Shipments moving in international containers also showed strong growth in August, nearly matching the total from August 2010 after dropping behind in July. Shipments in ISO containers set a new high for 2011. Halfway through September it remains unclear whether we will have a fall peak shipping season with tight capacity, or if economic challenges will result in readily available capacity.
