As has been the trend so far in 2009, and for the past few years for that matter, vessel passages have been below average. For the month of July, there were 22 commercial vessel passages. This was three below last July and 10 below the five year average of 32.
For the year to date, there have been 78 commercial vessel passages. This is down 20 from last year at this point, and 46 below the five year average. If you look back to 2005, we are a whopping 95 vessel passages below where we were during the same time period.
Maybe, it's the pirates!
