The MSC ships from Chile and Peru average 250 to 300 containers a week during the Chilean fruit season from December to May, which has helped attract "dry cargoes," such as wood products, Eric Holt said, adding, "This is all volume that used to be in Baltimore and Newark." The port has a new imported-rice account from India and white-cement shipments from Egypt. Volumes of Fiji water, which used to run 6,000 to 8,000 containers a year, are on track for 10,000 to 12,000 containers this year, he said.
