According to a recent report, the worldwide container traffic is projected to grow to 400-460 million TEUs by 2010 and to 510-610 million in 2015. More than 6 million of these enter the U.S., but only about 2 percent are opened and inspected when they arrive at U.S. seaports. The West Coast ports of Los Angeles-Long Beach, Oakland, and Seattle alone process 11,000 containers per day, or about 8 containers per minute.
