Abstract

This edition of the FAL Bulletin
analyses the impact of the recent
economic crisis on global maritime
transport, which dropped off 4.4% in
2009. Container traffic fell 9.1% that
same year. This issue analyses how the
crisis affected international maritime
transport, both worldwide and in
Latin America and the Caribbean, and
provides initial projections for 2010.
